# Scraping line today home
This took me some time, but they use a fancy system for pulling news data.
## 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 the _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": "682b0cef1b1269f8dec93e60",
"type": "HIGHLIGHT",
"containerStyle": "Header",
"name": "國內話題:新北重大車禍",
"source": "LISTING",
"header": {
"title": "新北重大死傷車禍",
"hasCompositeTitle": false,
"subTitle": "一輛小客車19日下午撞上放學人群造成多名學童、大人送醫至少3死10多傷肇事的78歲男子當場昏迷。"
},
"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

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. :)
