# Scraping Line Today's home page system
|
||
|
||
This took me some time, but they use a fancy system for pulling news data.
|
||
|
||
## Endpoint on news.yuanhau.com aka this repo (Cached results)
|
||
|
||
### /api/home/uuid_lt/action?query=${query}
|
||
Fetches the uuid in each listings of the query
|
||
|
||
### /api/home/lt/${query}
|
||
Fetches the uuid and returns back with the news
|
||
|
||
## Main endpoint
|
||
For local Taiwan news they use this url: https://today.line.me/_next/data/v1/tw/v3/tab/domestic.json?tabs=domestic
|
||
|
||
From _next? I thought that is static? I mean it maybe is, it is just providing with the URLs that the client will be fetching to the server, which is a bit fun.
|
||
|
||
Here is a JSON snippet:
|
||
```json
|
||
{
|
||
"id": "the-news-id",
|
||
"type": "HIGHLIGHT",
|
||
"containerStyle": "Header",
|
||
"name": "國內話題：topic",
|
||
"source": "LISTING",
|
||
"header": {
|
||
"title": "the top title here",
|
||
"hasCompositeTitle": false,
|
||
"subTitle": "the news subtitle here"
|
||
},
|
||
"listings": [
|
||
{
|
||
"id": "1feef7d2-3acc-495d-becd-3ef4de6a92ce",
|
||
"offset": 0,
|
||
"length": 10
|
||
}
|
||
]
|
||
},
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
We can ignore everything else, other than the strange UUID in the json. Well, this is the key we need to fetch their api 🤩
|
||
|
||
## Fetch news URLs
|
||
|
||
Here is the fancy URL:
|
||
`https://today.line.me/api/v6/listings/{the-uuid-you-got-in-the-listings-json-file}/?country=tw&offset=0&length=24`
|
||
|
||
This api can be used for fetching the news from them, however, there is an issue, the max length is only just 24 (yes, I tried it only can return 24 when requesting for 1000)
|
||
|
||
|
||
And viewing the JSON, oh would you look at that.
|
||
```JSON
|
||
{
|
||
"id": "news-id",
|
||
"title": "news-title",
|
||
"publisher": "news-publisher",
|
||
"publisherId": "101366",
|
||
"publishTimeUnix": 1747670221000,
|
||
"contentType": "GENERAL",
|
||
"thumbnail": {
|
||
"type": "IMAGE",
|
||
"hash": "0hvoq7de5NKUBMTjcMHM5WF3QYJTF_KDNJbixudj4ddXJnYm4ecX16Iz0edWwydjsTbH9vdm5IJ3EyKjtBeA"
|
||
},
|
||
"url": {
|
||
"hash": "8nlkYeV"
|
||
},
|
||
"categoryId": 100262,
|
||
"categoryName": "國內",
|
||
"shortDescription": "The article's short description"
|
||
},
|
||
```
|
||
The url hash is just what we needed to use my scraper :D
|
||
|
||
You can query it by using: https://news.yuanhau.com/api/news/get/lt/8nlkYeV (Also videos are in the list, so avoid that) or just try this https://today.line.me/tw/v2/article/8nlkYeV
|
||
|
||
and that's it, I've bypassed Line's attempt to block people like me. :)
|
||

|
||
## More to this debuckle
|
||
Apperently, there is something called a "hybrid listing" which is s simple recommendation system from here:` https://today.line.me/webapi/recommendation/hybrid/listings/${id}?country=tw&maxVideoCount=0&offset=0&length=70&optOut=false`, the ID still can be obtained via the same main endpoint, but just different things. Unlike the other api endpoint, it has a higher limit of 70, so you can do more things with it, and this endpoint is even easier to parse via json, just look at it.
|
||
|
||
```JSON
|
||
{
|
||
"id": "id",
|
||
"items": [
|
||
{
|
||
"id": "news-id",
|
||
"title": "title",
|
||
"publisher": "publisher",
|
||
"publisherId": "100005",
|
||
"publishTimeUnix": 1747712924000,
|
||
"contentType": "GENERAL",
|
||
"thumbnail": {
|
||
"type": "IMAGE",
|
||
"hash": "image hash"
|
||
},
|
||
"url": {
|
||
"hash": "67676767",
|
||
"url": "https://today.line.me/tw/v2/article/67767676"
|
||
},
|
||
"categoryId": 100260,
|
||
"categoryName": "cattype"
|
||
}
|
||
]
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
This is 100% easier to work with, and with a another extra, I can easily search shitty news terms. Also there is as category type??? What?
|
||
|
||
Also the id can just work with the following pattern in regex: `news_cat:[a-zA-Z0-9]{24}`, there is also `top_foryou:[a-zA-Z0-9]{24}`
|
||
|
||
### Hybrid listings?
|
||
- news_cat
|
||
- top_foryou
