• You need to install git or download using the zip method.

• This is solely written in PHP, so it makes it obvious to have PHP installed.

• There are two ways of having it installed:

  1. The Easy way using Xampp
  2. Using the Hard way is the official way

If you using the git method:

• Clone this Repository by using HTTP (or) SSH method.
  Example using HTTP method:
  git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/davinash97/newsapi

• An API is needed from NewsApi for every requests.

• The API key is supposed to be placed here. (It is purposely done so)

If you chose the EASY way:

• Paste the newsapi directory inside xampp directory
  (Typically it's C:/xampp in Windows)
• Look for htdocs folder and paste the newsapi folder there.
• Now start the server from xampp control panel.
• Open http://localhost:80
  • Point to note is port address i.e., 80 (in our case) can vary

If you chose the HARD way:

• Now do cd newsapi to change the current directory.
• Do php -S localhost:5500 to deploy and open the localhost:5500 in your preferred browser.

• Top Headlines: Can Provide with parameters like Keyword, Country or Category. Can also be used altogether to get specific result.

• Everything: Can provide results with parameters like Keyword, Language, or searchIn category

It is limited to these for now, might add more in future versions (it's a "maybe" situation)

• Feel free to improve or add features. Contributions in anyway possible are always welcome.
