MMM-NewsAPI

mwm341

Will MMM-NewsAPI allow displaying full articles in an iFrame?

Maybe an answer:
Gonna try splicing template.html into a responsive iFrame.

Wish me luck!

@mwm341 It is not setup for that at the moment but, you are more than welcome to make a PR. :winking_face:

The following updates have been made to the module. Please feel free to do a git pull and then an npm install in the module directory.

Removed the request module and replaced with node-fetch due to request being deprecated.
Update to the config.js. You have to remove the following line from you config.js.

className: "News"

The CSS has been changed to avoid conflicts with other modules. Hence the above className is no longer required and must be removed from the config.js.

Hey there - thanks for offering this module (NewsAPI). It works so far really well.

But I noticed that the module doesn’t refresh the news as I am forcing it based on my config.

The fetchInterval: is set to 1800*1000 // 30 minutes, but I still receive news that are 5 days old.
Only if I restart the MM (npm start) it is pulling the recent news.

And as you can see in the screenshot below, the NewsAPI doesn’t receive requests, as I’m actually expecting all 30min.

@mz-ber Hi. I just had a look and mine is running fine and has the latest articles. Can you set debug: true in the config to see if it pulls new articles or if an error is returned? I have not run my mirror the past few days due to power issues hence my stats are low but I have been running it all day today and will check back on the stats. Let me know if you see anything in debug mode please.

MZ-BER

Thanks for getting back. I set debug: true in the config and it is indeed pulling recent articles.

mumblebaj

@mz-ber Thanks for the confirmation. Can you lave the debug running and check if it pulls new data when it refresh?

MZ-BER

Hello @mumblebaj :waving_hand:

Would it be possible if you have a look? Thank you very much in advance :-)

@mz-ber said in MMM-NewsAPI:

[MMM-NEWSAPI] Invalid Option specified. Country not allowed with ‘everything’!

That is your issue with the NewsAPI. Please check the Readme for the valid options.

You seem to have loads of issues with loads of different modules. Maybe you want to start cleaning up some of those as well as they could obscure some other issues as well.

MZ-BER

@mumblebaj Alright, thank you!
