MMM-NewsAPI

mumblebaj

@darrenhill BBC seems to be working fine.

Not sure why yours is not pulling anything. I am using the following config.

                        module: "MMM-NewsAPI",
                        header: "news",
                        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: {
                                        country: "",
                                        category: "",
                                        q: "",
                                        qInTitle: "",
                                        sources: "",
                                        domains: "bbc.co.uk",
                                        excludeDomains: "",
                                        language: ""
                                        }
                                }
                },```

@mumblebaj With your exact config above (only adding in my API key) I just get the news title and the divider bar. Nothing below it at all?

Very weird…

mumblebaj

@darrenhill Something else is definitely going on. Can you add debug: true to your config and send me the output?

                    config: {
                            apiKey: "API_KEY",
                            type: "horizontal",
                            choice: "everything",
                            pageSize: 20,
                            sortBy: "publishedAt",
                           debug: true,
                            drawInterval: 1000*30,
                            templateFile: "template.html",
                            fetchInterval: 1000*60*60,
                            query: {

@mumblebaj Below is a pastebinit of mm-out.log (I presume that’s what you want).

http://paste.debian.net/1231629/

From what I can see, it’s working there fine. It just doesn’t actually display anything?

I’m going to try moving it to the top of the screen just to make sure it’s not something stupid like it’s displaying it below the screen or something like that.

Edited to add - nope, moving it to the top just gives me the same title and divider bar, but this time at the top…

mumblebaj

@darrenhill Ok. It is getting results and sends it to the main module. Can you check in the Developer Window if there is anything received there. You should see something like payload received with the json payload.

DarrenHill

@mumblebaj How do I do that?

Normally I access the mirror via ssh, but I can use a keyboard/mouse on it if needed (it’s running in a PiTop Ceed).

mumblebaj

@darrenhill just press ctrl+shift+i and select the console tab

DarrenHill

@mumblebaj In the console there if I filter for MMM-NewsAPI, I can see script and stylesheet loading, but nothing about payloads.

Where in that window do I need to be looking, is that the right place?

mumblebaj

@darrenhill Don’t filter by MMM-NewsApi.

DarrenHill

@mumblebaj I’m not seeing anything like that. There are some errors for other modules (DigiClock and weather) but none for NewsAPI but no payload either
