• fetch_news_content(url): Extract main content from a URL using Jina Reader.

Example Usage (Python):

from scripts.database_manager import DatabaseManager
from scripts.news_tools import NewsNowTools

db = DatabaseManager()
tools = NewsNowTools(db)

# 1. Fetch specific source
cls_news = tools.fetch_hot_news("cls", count=10)
print(cls_news)

# 2. Get unified report
report = tools.get_unified_trends(["cls", "wallstreetcn", "weibo"])
print(report)

# 3. Fetch content
content = tools.fetch_news_content("https://example.com/article")

Use scripts/news_tools.py (specifically PolymarketTools class) to get data from Polymarket.

Key Methods:
