newsapi-wrapper

newsapi-wrapper is a convenient wrapper to call the News API. All you will need is an API key that you can get here.

Usage

const newsapi = require('newsapi-wrapper');
newsapi.request()
   .setCountry('ca')
   .setCategory('sports')
   .setPageSize(25)
   .send()
   .then(response => {
       console.log(`Results: ${response.totalResults}`);
       response.articles.forEach(article => {
           console.log(article.title);
       });
   })
   .catch(err => {
       console.log(err);
   });

Installation

NPM

npm install newsapi-wrapper

yarn

yarn add newsapi-wrapper

API

setDefault

Sets a single default value. Possible keys: country, category, apiKey, pageSize

newsapi.setDefault('country', 'de');

setDefaults

Sets multiple default values at once. Takes an object as a parameter. Possible keys: country, category, apiKey, pageSize.

newsapi.setDefaults({
    country: 'de',
    pageSize: 10,
    category: 'sports'
});

getCategories

Returns an array containing all valid categories, which are: business, entertainment, general, health, science, sports, technology

request

Returns an object you can use to build a request, send it, and process the result. Intended to used as a chain of method calls:

newsapi.request()
       .setCategory('health')
       .setPageSize(15)
       .send();

The call to send returns a promise which resolves when the response from the News API is received as intended. Otherwise, it is rejected:

newsapi.request()
       .setCategory('health')
       .setPageSize(15)
       .send()
       .then(response => {
           // Probably do something with response.articles
       })
       .catch(err => {
           console.log(err);
       });
