Script News Download

Avatar
  • updated

Hello Community,

I have created this Python script that downloads the news from the site www.forexfactory.com and saves it in the directory (C:\Users\your_name\AppData\Roaming\MetaQuotes\Terminal\Common\Files\News\FF\*. csv) that uses CP.

It does not insert the values of "revised" and "revised_time.", the rest of the values are the same as Andrey has in Google Drive.

You can read more about the News Filter

The news are downloaded from:

You need to download Python 3.x and install the plugins run "pip3 install beautifulsoup4" and all others that you do not have installed

Hi Ulises,

I downloaded the attached file in your post but when I run it in the Command Prompt it shows me this and does not seem to work. 


What should I do in order to make it work?

The news page changed the text of the impact of the news. 

This version already works with that change.

Thanks for the report. I have corrected quickly so that you can download the news until today. Then I will see to download the news of the future.

Try from another place. Also you have to install all the modules. The latest version works fine.
