he News-Scraper platform streamlines the process of reading and summarizing daily financial news from multiple sources, saving users significant time and effort.
The Problem
- Financial news websites (e.g., FT, Bloomberg, Reuters) constantly update throughout the day, making it difficult for readers to identify new articles and track previously reviewed content.
Our Solution
News-Scraper resolves this by:
- Chronologically listing newly published articles.
- Clearly distinguishing which articles have been read by each user.
This allows users to quickly scan for new content since their last visit, ensuring no critical updates are missed.
Efficient Presentation
- Consolidates all articles from a given source (e.g., FT, Reuters, Bloomberg) on a single page, eliminating the need to navigate through multiple website sections.
- Displays full articles via a hover-over feature, removing the hassle of clicking through links or opening additional pages.
Summary Generation
- Users can create email summaries highlighting key articles of the day.
- Articles marked as important can be compiled into a customizable, editable list for personal use or sharing.
Additional Features
- Historical Article Storage: Searchable archives of scraped articles.
- Favorites: Users can save and annotate articles for future reference.
- Economic Calendar Integration: Includes key economic events (e.g., rate meetings, payrolls) with consensus and actual data for quick reference.
Copyright Compliance
- News-Scraper fully respects copyright laws by:
- Displaying only publicly accessible headlines.
- Allowing users to integrate login credentials for paywalled sources (e.g., FT, Economist). This enables users to access full content in accordance with their subscription rights.
LinkedIn Integration
As an added feature, News-Scraper offers seamless aggregation of LinkedIn contacts.
- Securely scans and summarizes LinkedIn connections.
- Exports two files:
- A sortable client list.
- A file formatted for easy integration with Outlook, ensuring contacts are accessible across all devices.
