Looked at the astrology.py source file and it's scraping horoscopes from astrology.kudosmedia.net instead of generating them. Do you own kudosmedia or have a license from them to do this and encourage others to?

Not sure what their deal is. The last item in their news section is from 2010 and they've still got flash on the homepage.

Not accusing you of anything untoward, but I wouldn't want to implement this in a project and then find out I was pirating someone else's content by proxy, so I gotta ask.

if you do not like this project or suspect, no one forces you to use them.

And I didn't use it. But it's a legitimate concern and question you're trying to dismiss with a bullshit rationalization.

I have received no information that the content from kudosmedia is being scraped and used with permission, just that the author thinks it's okay because it's "publicly available." That creates potential copyright infringement liability for anyone who uses it. If you're using this, check with your lawyer.

I'm not saying you shouldn't use this, but because it scrapes horoscopes from a website and does not generate them itself, you should seek legal counsel before incorporating them in your projects.

I agree with you @LetMyPeopleCode
Using non-public API to re-render it as yours without owner consent is absolutely BS and violation of GNU General Public License (GPL)

@twf-nikhila I recommend APIs based on calculations rather than trusting on a third-party closed source scrapped API. I personally use astrology-api by ryuphi. Few configurations required but pretty accurate.

@0x0is1 Hi,I want to know how to get a person's daily horoscope, such as love and career, using relevant open source code.

@nanq1993 Hi. In my knowledge, i have no idea if there exist such project who does this. Love and Career horoscope predictions are not mathematically calculated, rather estimated by individuals with their perspective using Sun, Moon and Mars positions.

Non-required Details: I may work on such a ML project to predict these using everyday happenings near the user in near future, but not yet.
