AllSides Scraper

Script that uses Cheerio and Request libraries to scrape AllSide.com to get bias ratings for new sites.

Motivation

Used in conjunction with NewsGate, a project that I worked on as part of a group at HackReactor to detect fake news via a chrome extension.

Installation

Run npm install and then npm start to run the script. The results will be written into the biasRatings file.

Future Plans

Replace the callbacks with promises and clean up the code further. Add other data values such as the wikipedia article and the summary.

Thanks for reading! :)
