I'm building an interactive macroeconomic world map. I've hit a dead end with raw web scraping, Google News search parameters (which fail to isolate country context), and GDELT.
I need to surface 3–5 fresh macro/econ headlines when a user clicks a country. Since commercial APIs are expensive and client-side RSS is unreliable:
1 - Is caching pre-fetched direct national RSS feeds (WSJ, BBC, Reuters) via a daily cron job the standard pattern here?
2 - Are there open-source scrapers or self-hosted news aggregation pipelines (like FreshRSS/Miniflux setups) that handle geographic mapping cleanly?
Idk what to do anymore at this stage, any ideas?
