Using new_decoderv1

from googlenewsdecoder import new_decoderv1

def main():

    interval_time = 5 # default interval is 1 sec, if not specified

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

    try:
        decoded_url = new_decoderv1(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}")

    # Output: decoded_urls - [{'status': True, 'decoded_url': 'https://healthdatamanagement.com/articles/empowering-the-quintuple-aim-embracing-an-essential-architecture/'}]

if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

Using a for loop to decode multiple URLs

from googlenewsdecoder import new_decoderv1

def main():

    interval_time = 5 # default interval is None, if not specified

    source_urls = ["https://news.google.com/read/CBMilgFBVV95cUxOM0JJaFRwV2dqRDk5dEFpWmF1cC1IVml5WmVtbHZBRXBjZHBfaUsyalRpa1I3a2lKM1ZnZUI4MHhPU2sydi1nX3JrYU0xWjhLaHNfU0N6cEhOYVE2TEptRnRoZGVTU3kzZGJNQzc2aDZqYjJOR0xleTdsemdRVnJGLTVYTEhzWGw4Z19lR3AwR0F1bXlyZ0HSAYwBQVVfeXFMTXlLRDRJUFN5WHg3ZTI0X1F4SjN6bmFIck1IaGxFVVZyOFQxdk1JT3JUbl91SEhsU0NpQzkzRFdHSEtjVGhJNzY4ZTl6eXhESUQ3XzdWVTBGOGgwSmlXaVRmU3BsQlhPVjV4VWxET3FQVzJNbm5CUDlUOHJUTExaME5YbjZCX1NqOU9Ta3U?hl=en-US&gl=US&ceid=US%3Aen","https://news.google.com/read/CBMiiAFBVV95cUxQOXZLdC1hSzFqQVVLWGJVZzlPaDYyNjdWTURScV9BbVp0SWhFNzZpSWZxSzdhc0tKbVlHMU13NmZVOFdidFFkajZPTm9SRnlZMWFRZ01CVHh0dXU0TjNVMUxZNk9Ibk5DV3hrYlRiZ20zYkIzSFhMQVVpcTFPc00xQjhhcGV1aXM00gF_QVVfeXFMTmtFQXMwMlY1el9WY0VRWEh5YkxXbHF0SjFLQVByNk1xS3hpdnBuUDVxOGZCQXl1QVFXaUVpbk5lUGgwRVVVT25tZlVUVWZqQzc4cm5MSVlfYmVlclFTOUFmTHF4eTlfemhTa2JKeG14bmNabENkSmZaeHB4WnZ5dw?hl=en-US&gl=US&ceid=US%3Aen"]

    for url in source_urls:
        try:
            decoded_url = new_decoderv1(url, interval=interval_time)
            if decoded_url.get("status"):
