        # NewsPie #

A minimalistic news aggregator built with [Flask](https://www.palletsprojects.com/p/flask/) and powered by [News API](https://newsapi.org/).

## Prerequisites: ##

1. [Python3](https://www.python.org).

2. Dependencies from `requirements.txt` or `Pipfile.lock` (preferably in a virtual env).

3. API key for [News API](https://newsapi.org/register). It's free for non-commercial projects (including open-source) and allows 500 requests per day. Once acquired, save it as `NEWS_API_KEY` environment variable or directly as string to `API_KEY` in `news.py`. Just don't share it or upload the code with it.

## Starting: ##

1. Run `python news.py` or `python3 news.py` (depending on the environment) in the terminal while in the root of the repository.

2. Go to [http://127.0.0.1:5000/](http://127.0.0.1:5000/) address in the web browser.

## Features: ##

1. Get top articles headlines and their URLs by country and/or category.

2. Search articles up to a month old. Looks for a given query in the titles. Language/country independent results. Relevancy decides.

3. Results received from News API are cached for 5 minutes.

4. Country saved as a cookie.

5. Responsive UI.

6. Dark mode/theme.
