## Project Overview ## Project Overview
DS Task AI News is an AI-powered news retrieval system that gathers news articles from various online sources, stores them in a vector database, and enables users to discover relevant articles based on their interests. The system uses advanced AI techniques to find and recommend related news articles dynamically. DS Task AI News is a fully functional AI-powered news retrieval system that aggregates news articles from multiple RSS sources, stores them in a vector database, and provides intelligent recommendations. The system features a complete REST API, vector-based similarity search, and AI-ready architecture for enhanced news analysis.
## ✅ Current Status: FULLY OPERATIONAL

```bash ```bash
git clone http://23.29.118.76:3000/Test/ds_task_ai_news git clone http://23.29.118.76:3000/Test/ds_task_ai_news.git
cd ds-task-ai-news cd ds_task_ai_news
``` ```
### 2. Set Up the Backend ### 2. Create Virtual Environment
```bash
python -m venv venv
# Windows
venv\Scripts\activate
# Linux/Mac
source venv/bin/activate
```
### 3. Install Dependencies
```bash
pip install -r backend/requirements.txt
```
### 4. Configure Environment
Create a `.env` file in the root directory:
```env
# API Keys (Optional - system works without them)
GROQ_API_KEY=your_groq_api_key_here
COHERE_API_KEY=your_cohere_api_key_here
# RSS Feed Sources
RSS_FEEDS=https://feeds.bbci.co.uk/news/technology/rss.xml,https://techcrunch.com/feed/,https://www.wired.com/feed/rss
# Server Settings
HOST=0.0.0.0
PORT=8000
DEBUG=true
```
### 5. Start the Server
```bash ```bash
cd backend cd backend
pip install -r requirements.txt
python main.py python main.py
``` ```
## Fetching News Using RSS Feeds The API will be available at `http://localhost:8000`
* News is aggregated from RSS feeds of different news sources. ## 🚀 Quick Start
* The `news_fetcher.py` script pulls data from RSS feeds, extracts relevant information, and stores it in the database.
### **Example RSS Fetching Code (Python)** ### Test the System
```python 1. **Check System Health:**
import feedparser ```bash
curl http://localhost:8000/health
def fetch_rss_news(feed_url):
feed = feedparser.parse(feed_url)
articles = []
for entry in feed.entries:
articles.append({
"title": entry.title,
"content": entry.summary,
"date": entry.published,
"slug": entry.title.lower().replace(" ", "-"),
"categories": ["Technology", "AI and Innovation"],
"tags": ["AI", "Technology", "Innovation"]
})
return articles
``` ```
## API Endpoints 2. **Fetch Latest News:**
```bash
curl -X POST http://localhost:8000/fetch-news
```
* `GET /fetch-news`: Fetches news from RSS feeds. 3. **Get Trending Articles:**
* `GET /recommend-news?article_id=xyz`: Retrieves similar news based on the selected article. ```bash
curl http://localhost:8000/trending?top_k=5
```
4. **Search for Articles:**
```bash
curl -X POST http://localhost:8000/recommend-by-query \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"query": "artificial intelligence", "top_k": 3}'
```
## 📡 RSS News Fetching
The system automatically fetches news from multiple sources:
* **BBC Technology**: Latest tech news and innovations
* **TechCrunch**: Startup and technology industry news
* **WIRED**: Science, technology, and digital culture
### Production RSS Implementation
Our implementation includes:
- **Error handling** for unreliable feeds
- **Content cleaning** (HTML tag removal, truncation)
- **Duplicate detection** using content hashing
- **Source attribution** and metadata preservation
- **Rate limiting** and respectful fetching
## 🔌 API Endpoints
### Core Endpoints
* `GET /` - API health check
* `GET /health` - Detailed system status
* `POST /fetch-news` - Fetch latest news from all RSS sources
* `GET /trending?top_k=N` - Get N most recent articles
* `GET /articles?limit=N` - Get N articles from database
* `POST /recommend-by-query` - Get recommendations based on text query
* `GET /stats` - System statistics and metrics
### Example Responses
**System Health:**
```json
{
"status": "healthy",
"vector_store": {
"total_articles": 238,
"index_dimension": 384,
"index_exists": true
}
}
```
**News Fetching:**
```json
{
"success": true,
"message": "Successfully fetched and stored news articles",
"articles_count": 119,
"articles_stored": 119,
"total_articles": 238
}
```
