T-Online News Scraper
A T-Online News Scraper for exporting German news articles from T-Online.de into a structured CSV. The template opens T-Online category pages, discovers article URLs, fetches article detail pages in-browser, and exports Kategorie, Zusammenfassung, Titel, Autor_in, Aktualisiert_am, Lesedauer, Inhalt, and Artikel-URL from the local desktop app.

Export T-Online news articles to CSV
Article detail pages become rows
The workflow does more than collect listing headlines. It discovers T-Online article URLs, fetches each detail page, and builds a row with summary, author, update date, reading time, body text, category, and URL.
Structured data first, readable text second
When T-Online exposes JSON-LD article metadata, the template uses it. If that is missing, it falls back to meta tags, headings, time elements, and filtered article paragraphs to reduce boilerplate.
Multi-category append workflow
The Navigate block loops through several T-Online.de sections and Structured Export appends every batch to t_online_nachrichten_detail_scraper.csv, giving you one file for cross-category review.
Local desktop app workflow
The browser run and CSV export stay under your control. That matters when monitoring topics are sensitive, when cloud actor credits are not approved, or when you need a plain spreadsheet for internal review.

How to use
From template download to first T-Online CSV
1
Download and import
Download the hosted JSON template from this page, then import it into UScraper.
2
Review category URLs
The Navigate block starts with T-Online Nachrichten, Deutschland, Ausland, Sport, and Fussball URLs. Keep the defaults or replace them with approved T-Online sections.
3
Run the page load and article discovery
UScraper waits for the category page, removes common Sourcepoint consent overlays where possible, scans for article URLs, and limits the batch for a controlled first run.
4
Fetch detail pages
The injected JavaScript fetches article HTML in small batches, parses JSON-LD when available, and filters article body paragraphs to avoid navigation, ads, sharing controls, and related-story clutter.
5
Export and open the file
Structured Export waits for hidden result rows, appends the configured columns, and writes t_online_nachrichten_detail_scraper.csv with headers enabled.

Frequently asked questions
Scraping public T-Online pages can still be limited by T-Online terms, robots directives, copyright, database rights, privacy rules, and local law. Use modest volume, respect RSS options and publisher policies, avoid bypassing paywalls or technical restrictions, and get legal review before commercial reuse.
Before you run
Practical limits for T-Online scraping
Check these before large exports
Pacing
Run polite batches before increasing scale
The workflow fetches article detail pages in batches of six. Keep the default limits until you confirm row quality, latency, and your compliance position.
Layout drift
News pages and consent layers can change
T-Online may adjust category layouts, article metadata, or Sourcepoint overlay behavior. Empty exports usually mean the article discovery or row creation step needs review.
Policy
Article text is protected publisher content
Treat exports as a research aid unless you have permission for broader reuse. Do not republish, resell, or train commercial systems on article bodies without a clear legal basis.
