Script News Download

  • 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

Hello,

Updated the code to support both Windows and Linux directory paths using platform detection and dynamic path construction. Replaced hardcoded Windows paths with cross-platform logic based on Path.home() and Path handling.
