Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

news-api-njs

An interface for Node and the newsapi.org API

You'll need an API key from News API

You can install using npm install --save news-api-njs

Then you can set up like so, where username is a default username:

var NewsApi = require('news-api-njs'),
    config = require('./config');
var news = new NewsApi({
    apiKey: config.apiKey
});

After this, you can use either of the following methods

Get Sources

getSources(opt);

Returns all possible sources where

    opt = {
        category: category // optional
        language: top|latest|popular //optional, default is top
        callback(res) {}
    }

and callback is a function which receives a single object, containing the News API response and success: true|false

Get Articles

Returns list of articles from a given source

getArticles(opt);

    opt = {
        category: business|entertainment|gaming|general|music|science-and-nature|sport|technology //opt, default is all
        language: en|de|fr //opt, default is all
        country: au|de|gb|in|it|us //opt, default is all
        callback(res) {}
    }

and callback is a function which receives a single object, containing the News API response and success: true|false

Alternately, you can use JavaScript promises like so

    news.getArticles({
        source: 'ars-technica',
        sortBy: 'latest'
    }).then(function(res) {
        console.log(res);
    }).catch(function(err) {
        console.log(err);
});
