Prepare

  1. Download and install Python3

    • You may want to use anaconda and create a separate conda environment for this demo asset. See here for information on installing miniconda.

  2. Ensure that you have the python packages listed in assets/requirements.txt installed.

    • You can run a simple pip install -r requirements.txt to install all of them at once. See the README in the assets folder for installation tips.

  3. Create an IBM cloud account and sign up for watsonx. You can sign up for a free trail for watsonx.ai here.

  4. Select free news sites that you would like to scrape. While subscription-based news services such as Bloomberg are also possible to scrape, the task becomes much more complicated. In this demo, we will scrape from CNN and CNBC.
