[BotBuildersTech]

Hi, I made an issue on the PyAztro page.

The issue is that the source for the code, http://astrology.kudosmedia.net/ , appears to have died. Unless the website comes back up, Aztro is also not going to work.

The code would need to be completely rewritten to use another source, if such a source exists.

For those who need an alternative, here is a code that works to retrieve horoscope:

from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
import requests

signs = {
    "aries": 1,
    "taurus": 2,
    "gemini": 3,
    "cancer": 4,
    "leo": 5,
    "virgo": 6,
    "libra": 7,
    "scorpio": 8,
    "sagittarius": 9,
    "capricorn": 10,
    "aquarius": 11,
    "pisces": 12,
}

given_sign = "aries"

URL = "https://www.horoscope.com/us/horoscopes/general/horoscope-general-daily-today.aspx?sign=" + \
    str(signs[given_sign])

r = requests.get(URL)
soup = BeautifulSoup(r.text, 'html.parser')

container = soup.find("p")

print(container.text.strip())

@PaulRosset Could you give some details on how this code works?

[PaulRosset]

It bascically go on horoscope.com website and retrieve horoscope text posted there.
It uses requests Python library to perform the http call and beautifulsoup library to parse and deal with the html.
You just need to provide which sign you want to retrieve.

Ex horoscope:

Saturday, April 1st, 2023 (Moon in Leo): Scorpio, today you may feel a need for self-expression and creativity. You may want to showcase your unique talents and abilities. Use this energy to express yourself authentically and confidently. Some past events that occurred on this day include the founding of the city of Baghdad by the Abbasid caliph Al-Mansur. This event could be relevant to Scorpios as they may be seeking to establish a new cultural or intellectual center in their own lives.

We'd consider opening the service up to others. Not $0 but relatively low to what others are charging. But you'd have a usage license to the horoscopes vs. taking a risk on using other's work.
