NewsHub App

Project codes are available at Github

NewsHub is a single-page news web application that provides users with the latest news articles. Users can view a list of news articles, search for articles by topics and read more about interesting articles. The app is developed using Flask and several http libraries. The live news sources are obtained from Mediastack API with a 30 minute delay.

The news data are presented in rows in a tabular form. My idea was to present them like how one would read the headlines in Reuters or Bloomberg terminals. Overall, it was a good practice refreshing my Python skills and obtaining data from an external API.

NewsHub has the following features:

Flask: NewHub is built using the Flask framework, a lightweight and efficient web framework for Python.
Presentation in row form:The news data are presented in rows in a tabular form.
Search bar: Users can find articles of interest by entering relevant keywords into the search bar.
Link to news article:A After reading a brief article description, users who wish to read more can click on a link that will redirect them to the complete article.
Images: Article images provided by the API are displayed if available. Otherwise an alternative image is shown.
