# Google News Decoder

Google News Decoder is a Python package that can decode Google News links or Google News URLs to their original URLs. It is a simple tool that saves you time and effort. If you find it useful, please support the package by hitting the star on GitHub. Your support helps keep the project going!

## Update

- **Version 0.1.7**:
  - **New Feature**: Added **proxy support** to handle rate limiting and bypass restrictions.
  - **Improved**: Enhanced error handling with a fallback mechanism for decoding parameters.
  - **Refined**: Optimized `get_decoding_params` to try decoding via `https://news.google.com/articles` first, falling back to `https://news.google.com/rss/articles` if needed.
  - **Updated**: Reduced occurrences of HTTP 429 (Too Many Requests).
  - **Removed**: Logging functionality for a cleaner codebase.
  - **Fixed**: Resolved time delay issue between requests.

## Usage

Here is an example of how to use this package with different decoders:

### Using gnewsdecoder

```python
from googlenewsdecoder import gnewsdecoder

def main():
    interval_time = 1  # interval is optional, default is None

    source_url = "https://news.google.com/read/CBMi2AFBVV95cUxPd1ZCc1loODVVNHpnbFFTVHFkTG94eWh1NWhTeE9yT1RyNTRXMVV2S1VIUFM3ZlVkVjl6UHh3RkJ0bXdaTVRlcHBjMWFWTkhvZWVuM3pBMEtEdlllRDBveGdIUm9GUnJ4ajd1YWR5cWs3VFA5V2dsZnY1RDZhVDdORHRSSE9EalF2TndWdlh4bkJOWU5UMTdIV2RCc285Q2p3MFA4WnpodUNqN1RNREMwa3d5T2ZHS0JlX0MySGZLc01kWDNtUEkzemtkbWhTZXdQTmdfU1JJaXY?hl=en-US&gl=US&ceid=US%3Aen"

    try:
        decoded_url = gnewsdecoder(source_url, interval=interval_time)

        if decoded_url.get("status"):
            print("Decoded URL:", decoded_url["decoded_url"])
        else:
            print("Error:", decoded_url["message"])
    except Exception as e:
        print(f"Error occurred: {e}")

if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()
```

### Using gnewsdecoder with proxy

```python
from googlenewsdecoder import gnewsdecoder

def main():
    interval_time = 1  # interval is optional, default is None
    proxy = "http://user:pass@localhost:8080" # proxy is optional, default is None

    source_url = "https://news.google.com/read/CBMi2AFBVV95cUxPd1ZCc1loODVVNHpnbFFTVHFkTG94eWh1NWhTeE9yT1RyNTRXMVV2S1VIUFM3ZlVkVjl6UHh3RkJ0bXdaTVRlcHBjMWFWTkhvZWVuM3pBMEtEdlllRDBveGdIUm9GUnJ4ajd1YWR5cWs3VFA5V2dsZnY1RDZhVDdORHRSSE9EalF2TndWdlh4bkJOWU5UMTdIV2RCc285Q2p3MFA4WnpodUNqN1RNREMwa3d5T2ZHS0JlX0MySGZLc01kWDNtUEkzemtkbWhTZXdQTmdfU1JJaXY?hl=en-US&gl=US&ceid=US%3Aen"

    try:
        decoded_url = gnewsdecoder(source_url, interval=interval_time, proxy=proxy)

        if decoded_url.get("status"):
            print("Decoded URL:", decoded_url["decoded_url"])
        else:
            print("Error:", decoded_url["message"])
    except Exception as e:
        print(f"Error occurred: {e}")

if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()
```

### Using a for loop to decode multiple URLs

```python
from googlenewsdecoder import gnewsdecoder

def main():
    interval_time = 1  # interval is optional, default is None

    source_urls = [
        "https://news.google.com/read/CBMilgFBVV95cUxOM0JJaFRwV2dqRDk5dEFpWmF1cC1IVml5WmVtbHZBRXBjZHBfaUsyalRpa1I3a2lKM1ZnZUI4MHhPU2sydi1nX3JrYU0xWjhLaHNfU0N6cEhOYVE2TEptRnRoZGVTU3kzZGJNQzc2aDZqYjJOR0xleTdsemdRVnJGLTVYTEhzWGw4Z19lR3AwR0F1bXlyZ0HSAYwBQVVfeXFMTXlLRDRJUFN5WHg3ZTI0X1F4SjN6bmFIck1IaGxFVVZyOFQxdk1JT3JUbl91SEhsU0NpQzkzRFdHSEtjVGhJNzY4ZTl6eXhESUQ3XzdWVTBGOGgwSmlXaVRmU3BsQlhPVjV4VWxET3FQVzJNbm5CUDlUOHJUTExaME5YbjZCX1NqOU9Ta3U?hl=en-US&gl=US&ceid=US%3Aen",
