Newsgetter class

Hi, the code requires an API key, and I used the Dow Jones API key, which is not free. Perhaps you could modify it to use the 5Paisa or Fyers API, as these are free of cost

I see. I didn't know that. Hopefully you didn't pay out of pocket for that. Zaydo123 mentioned using RSS readers to get XML data. We would have to find one to subscribe to. Preferably something that works well with a CLI. I heard Newsboat is pretty good. Zaydo123 also sent this link (https://about.fb.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/rss-urls-1.pdf) containing links to RSS feeds.

Let's scrap the Dow Jones API idea. Good work so far, but we shouldn't have to pay to get news headlines.

I'll start work on getting XML data and parsing it from Newsboat or another RSS feed.

Looks like Newsboat is a manual CLI interface. Not really a good autonomous solution. Working on an RSS reader now.

Hi, Newsboat maintainer here 👋

Newsboat is a TUI app, so indeed it's unsuitable for scripting. Your project is in Python; I've heard good things about https://pypi.org/project/feedparser/

Regardless of what library you end up using, please make sure you're sending a useful User-Agent string, and use ETag/Last-Modified if they're provided by the host. feedparser has support for all of that.
