Overview
A backend-only async pipeline (no UI) that reads financial news RSS feeds, adds transformer-based sentiment scores, stores results in SQLite and exports a JSON file. The code is public on GitHub. It polls when run; it is not a streaming service, and the default Reuters feed URL no longer responds.
Key Highlights
- Async RSS ingestion with fallbacks when a feed fails
- Transformer-based sentiment scoring
- SQLite storage and JSON export
- Two test files (pytest); coverage not measured
