Yahoo News Scraper
A Yahoo News scraper for turning live article pages into a clean CSV. The template starts at Yahoo News, discovers current article links from listing, ranking, topic, and flash pages, then exports page address, title, date, news source, image URL, and article body text into yahoo-news-scraper.csv from the local desktop app.

At a glance
Export Yahoo News articles without building a crawler
Article pages become spreadsheet rows
The workflow discovers live news.yahoo.co.jp/articles/ URLs, opens the article HTML, and writes a structured row for each usable story. That makes Yahoo News to CSV practical for analysts who need a repeatable file instead of copied browser text.
Body text is included when available
Many news scrapers stop at the headline. This template looks for structured article data first, then falls back to readable paragraph text so the CSV can support keyword review, summaries, or downstream classification.
Runs under your control
The browser session and export file live on your machine. That is useful for teams that cannot approve hosted news actors, proxy dashboards, or vendor-side retention of sensitive monitoring topics.
Built around live discovery
The template avoids stale sample URLs by discovering current links from Yahoo News entry points at run time. Deleted pages are skipped where possible, and empty runs surface a plain diagnostic row.

How to use
From template download to first article CSV
1
Download and import
Use the page CTA to download the hosted JSON template, then import it into UScraper.
2
Open the live source
The Navigate block starts at https://news.yahoo.co.jp/, waits for the page to load, and confirms the document body is available.
3
Discover article URLs
The injected JavaScript scans the current page and a few Yahoo News listing surfaces for live article links, then limits the first batch so you can validate output before increasing scale.
4
Fetch and normalize fields
For each article URL, the workflow reads structured data, meta tags, headings, time elements, publisher fields, images, and article paragraphs in that order.
5
Export the CSV
Structured Export writes yahoo-news-scraper.csv with headers into the configured save folder.

Frequently asked questions
Automating Yahoo News can conflict with Yahoo terms, robots directives, publisher rights, copyright, privacy rules, or local scraping law even when article pages are public. Keep volume modest, avoid paywalls or login walls, do not republish article bodies without permission, and consult counsel before commercial datasets.
Limits
Guardrails for reliable Yahoo News scraping
Check these before production runs
Selector drift
Yahoo can redesign listing and article pages
The template prefers structured data and metadata before falling back to paragraphs, but major page changes can still reduce row quality. Validate output after each noticeable Yahoo News redesign.
Deleted articles
Some discovered URLs may disappear
News pages expire, redirect, or return deleted-page messages. The workflow skips obvious missing pages and emits a diagnostic row if no live articles are found.
Compliance
Article text is copyrighted content
Use exports for permitted internal review, research, or analysis. Do not republish, resell, or train commercial systems on publisher text unless your legal basis and platform permissions are clear.
