newsapi

NewsAPI Go Client

Go client for communicating with the newsapi's api.

Getting Started

These instructions will get you a copy of the project up and running on your local machine for development and testing purposes.

Prerequisites

go get github.com/egorzot/newsapi

Next, register for free at (https://newsapi.org/register), get yourself a free api key and keep it somewhere safe.

Examples

Retrieving all sources

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"net/http"
	"context"
	"github.com/egorzot/newsapi"
)

func main() {
	c := newsapi.NewClient("<API KEY>", newsapi.WithHTTPClient(http.DefaultClient))

	sources, err := c.GetSources(context.Background(), nil)

	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}

	for _, s := range sources.Sources {
		fmt.Println(s.Description)
	}
}

Retrieving all sources for a specific country (Great Britain in this case)

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"net/http"
	"context"

	"github.com/egorzot/newsapi"
)

func main() {
	c := newsapi.NewClient("<API KEY>", newsapi.WithHTTPClient(http.DefaultClient))

	sources, err := c.GetSources(context.Background(), &newsapi.SourceParameters{
		Country: "gb",
	})

	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}

	for _, s := range sources.Sources {
		fmt.Println(s.Name)
	}
}

Retrieving top headlines

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"net/http"
	"context"

	"github.com/egorzot/newsapi"
)

func main() {
	c := newsapi.NewClient("<API KEY>", newsapi.WithHTTPClient(http.DefaultClient))

	articles, err := c.GetTopHeadlines(context.Background(), &newsapi.TopHeadlineParameters{
		Sources: []string{ "cnn", "time" },
	})

	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}

	for _, s := range articles.Articles {
		fmt.Printf("%+v\n\n", s)
	}
}

Retrieving all articles

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"net/http"
	"context"

	"github.com/egorzot/newsapi"
)

func main() {
	c := newsapi.NewClient("<API KEY>", newsapi.WithHTTPClient(http.DefaultClient))

	articles, err := c.GetEverything(context.Background(), &newsapi.EverythingParameters{
		Sources: []string{ "cnn", "time" },
	})

	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}

	for _, s := range articles.Articles {
		fmt.Printf("%+v\n\n", s)
	}
}
