RT News Scraping Tool Guide (Platform SDK Version)
Tool Description
What data can you extract using the RT News Scraping Tool?
With this tool, you can extract the following news data from the RT website (https://www.rt.com/):
- Basic News Information: news link, title, plain text content, image link, publication time, language, and news type (e.g., news / russia / business, etc.).
- Author Information: author name (automatically cleansed of "by" prefixes and duplicate content).
- Other Information: supports custom pagination, scraping limits, and concurrent thread count.
If you need to extract data beyond the scope listed above, please contact us.
What formats are supported for exporting the scraped results?
The script runs within the platform and pushes data via SDK. The platform supports exporting results in two structured data formats: JSON and CSV:
- Developers can directly integrate JSON-formatted data into their systems;
- Non-technical users can analyze CSV-formatted data in Excel or BI tools.
Are the scraping results real-time data?
Yes. Each scraping task retrieves the latest publicly available news data from the RT website in real-time, without relying on any caching mechanism, ensuring full data timeliness.
