    @mumblebaj - Thanks, no need to apologise.

    I tried the other module, and it also doesn’t show anything besides it’s “News” header title.

    The config I tried was:

            {
                module: "MMM-NewsAPI",
                header: "News",
                position: "bottom_center",
                config: {
                    apiKey : "<my API key>",
                    domains: "bbc.co.uk",
                    language: "en"
                    }
            },
    
    

    And also I tried replacing the domains: with sources: “bbc-news” and that gave the same results.

    There’s nothing in the logs, aside from confirming that the module is loading (as can be seen from the displayed title too).

      @DarrenHill from the doc

      Add DEBUG Handling.
      Only add debug: true to the config section if you are experiencing issues and require more information to find issues.

        @DarrenHill domins or sources must be inside the much more complex query section of the config

        see the doc

                            query: {
                                    country: "",
                                    category: "",
                                    q: "",
                                    qInTitle: "",
                                    sources: "",
                                    domains: "cnn.com,nytimes.com,news24.com",
                                    excludeDomains: "",
                                    language: ""
                            }

          @DarrenHill MMM-NewsAPI has a whole lot more configs. See below sample.

          {
                                  module: "MMM-NewsAPI",
                                  header: "news",
                                 //  disabled: true,
                                  position: "bottom_bar",
                                  pages: {"sport": "bottom_bar"},
                                  config: {
                                          apiKey: <api-key>,
                                          type: "horizontal",
                                          choice: "everything",
                                          pageSize: 20,
                                          sortBy: "publishedAt",
                                          drawInterval: 1000*30,
                                          templateFile: "template.html",
                                          fetchInterval: 1000*60*60,
                                          query: {

            @mumblebaj - Thanks for the support, and for both modules.

            Unfortunately that gives me a headline in Spanish (I think) about Apple iPhone 14 with “undefined” below it.

            I also tried your everything example configs from your GH page and got a similar layout (headline and undefined).

            I’m beginning to think NewsAPI itself is screwed for me unfortunately, so we may be onto a loser here regardless of module.

                @DarrenHill That is very weird as the configs seem to work for me and the other guys who have tried to assist thus far.

                  @mumblebaj - Yes, as I said I’m starting to think that your modules are both working fine, but the API feed I’m getting from NewsAPI is somehow corrupted and they are universally having issues with it.

                  I can’t create a new API key as it won’t let me (it says they don’t support UK now if you try and create a new key from here), and I guess that might be related somehow?

                  4223b88d-2348-4c14-8963-bdfe989b087c-image.png

                  So I think we might be at a dead end here unfortunately with anything that’s using that API as its source.

                    @DarrenHill The data coming through is fine as it works for me with the source that you provided. Not sure why you not able to create an API key though. I just tested creating another API Key and that worked as well. Unfortunately I am not able to assist with getting a key created.
