Setting up OpenAI Summarization of a News Article with Python3

This tutorial will walk you through the steps of setting up OpenAI Summarization for a news article using Python 3.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, make sure you have the following installed:

• Python 3.x
• OpenAI library

Step 1: Install OpenAI Library

To install the OpenAI library, open up a terminal window and enter the following command:

pip install openai

The OpenAI library should now be installed.

Step 2: Download the News Article

Next, you gotta download the news article you wanna summarize. Save the article as a .txt file.

Step 3: Create a Summarizer

In this step, we will create a summarizer object. This object will be used to summarize our news article.

Open up a Python interpreter (or just make a file) and enter the following:

from openai import OpenAI

summarizer = OpenAI()

This will create a summarizer object.

Step 4: Summarize the News Article

Now that we have created our summarizer object, we can use it to summarize our news article.

Enter the following code to summarize the article:

summary = summarizer.summarize(article_path)

Replace article_path with the path to your news article.

The summary variable should now contain the summarized version of the news article.

Step 5: Print the Summary

Finally, we can print the summary of the news article.

Enter the following code to print the summary:

print(summary)

This will print the summarized version of the news article.
