Creating a website using Google News API to display news from various sources and allow users to search for news based on parameters such as:

• Keywords
• Publish Date Range
• Genre
• Source

• Google News API
• d-3 cloud library

• HTML
• CSS
• Javascript
• AJAX

• Flask (Python)

The home page has a carousel that shows the latest news from all sources. This news is fetched from the Google News API. The home page also features a word cloud of top 30 most frequently appearing words in news titles. The home page also displays the top 5 news articles from Fox News and CNN which are fetched using Google News API. The button on the left is used to toggle between the home page and the search page.

The search page has a form which lets users search for articles based on various parameters. Search results are displayed as cards. User can use the "Show More" and "Show Less" button to display more or less search results. On clicking each card, it expands showing additional details about a particular news articles. It also has a link which takes the user to the news website having that article.

• Flask makes calls to the Google News API endpoint to fetch and process data.
• AJAX is used to make asynchronous calls to Flask backend to fetch the processed data.
• The JSON response obtained via AJAX is processed and displayed.

• Clone this github repository
• Create your own Google News API-KEY and replace it with the "YOUR-API-KEY" in application.py
• Start the virtual environment
• Run pip install -r requirements.txt or pip3 install -r requirements.txt.
• Run python application.py to start the server
