How to assign html content without downloading it?

[dizlv]

Is it possible to assing already downloaded html string to the Article object without calling download() method?

Because I want to use it in Scrapy project and html page is already downloaded so I need simply to parse it.

It's cool that you are using Newspaper together with Scrapy, that was completely unimaginable to me!

You can do as described with the set_html(..) method in the Article class.

Reference how download actually works: https://github.com/codelucas/newspaper/blob/master/newspaper/article.py#L139
