# Time.com Latest Stories API
This project is a Node.js application that fetches and parses the latest 6 stories from Time.com's homepage and serves them as a JSON API response. The application uses built-in Node.js modules (`http` and `https`) and avoids relying on external libraries.
## Features
- **Fetch Latest Stories:** Retrieves HTML content from Time.com's homepage using an HTTP GET request.
- **Extract Story Information:** Processes the HTML content to extract the story titles and URLs.
- **Serve Stories as API:** Serves the extracted information as a JSON response to API requests on the `/latest-stories` endpoint.
- **Error Handling:** Handles potential errors during fetching and parsing of HTML content.
## Getting Started
### Prerequisites
- **Node.js:** Make sure you have Node.js installed on your machine.

```bash

```
### Usage
1. Start the application:
