2025 Report: Destructive Malware in Open Source Packages
Destructive malware is rising across open source registries, using delays and kill switches to wipe code, break builds, and disrupt CI/CD.
newsapi.js is a TypeScript (and plain JS) library for newsapi.org.
Just run:
npm install newsapi.js -s
And some examples:
const news = require("newsapi.js");
// For TypeScript: import {NewsAPIClient} from "newsapi.js"
const sources = news.getSources()
.then(source => console.log(sources)) // Wouldn't do this if I were you
.catch((err) => console.error(err));
const topHeadlines = news.getTopHeadlines()
.then(headline => {
const articles = headline.articles;
console.log(articles[0].title);
});
Just create a PR! Testing information is below:
All the hard Mocha & TypeScript work is done for you. But you need to provide yourself a token from here: https://newsapi.org/account.
Once you have received a token, create a file at src/test/config/test.config.json with the following content:
{
"token": "token here"
}
While replacing the string token here with your token.
Then run the following:
$ npm install
and to test:
$ npm test
