Not sure if this is the right community but seems close enough.
Ideally i want a url that i can just put any paywalled news article into that will return the unpaywalled version.
Ie: https://somedomain/https://somenewssite/somenewsartle
I need it to work with https://pypi.org/project/newspaper4k/
Alternativly if someone knows of another python library that can extract article text and images automaticly just from a link that would also solve my problem.
12ft works, if you really need to. But in general, I just don’t read any publications that paywall their content. Mass media is all owned by one or two billionaires, if they need money they can get it from them.
Looks like newspaper4k uses headless Chrome. You could try loading the Bypass Paywalls Clean extension and browsing the pages directly.
I regularly use it (in Firefox) without even thinking about it. Only notice when I send someone an article they can’t access.
