# Brussels Times scraping instructions

- Primary source: Google News sitemap: `https://www.brusselstimes.com/google-news-sitemap.xml`.
- Use `node scripts/fetch-brussels-times.mjs YYYY-MM-DD`; it filters recent Brussels-relevant categories and outputs JSON.
- Avoid scraping article pages unless a summary is genuinely required; sitemap title/category/date is usually enough for the daily digest.
- Language: source is English. Translate summaries into French/Dutch if multilingual output is generated.
- Cache path: `docs/cache/press-raw/brusselstimes.json`.
