   I don't know of any specifically but I do know I've seen a few that scrape   
   news from various sources.  Unfortunately I haven't been keeping up with the   
   modding scene all that much these days so I can't point you in the right   
   direction.   
      
   In terms of Mystic Python it can be done with a few lines of code, but   
   obviously you'd need to understand Python.   
      
   import feedparser   
      
   NewsFeed = feedparser.parse("https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com   
   rssfeedstopstories.cms")   
      
   writeln("Number of RSS posts: " + str(len(NewsFeed.entries)))   
      
   entry = NewsFeed.entries[1]   
      
   writeln("Post Title: " + entry.title);
