@MMRIZE said in MMM-News and BBC:
@DarrenHill
Ok, I found something. I don’t know why, but your result has “articles.source.Name” instead of “articles.source.name” that makes this error.Anything I can do to overcome that?
No idea why I’m getting different API returns to you guys…?
-
also doesn’t get ‘content’ or ‘description’, so those will fail too…
-
I tried to register for a new api key, but when I tried it told me that they don’t support the UK (where I am) so I wonder if that somehow has something to do with it.
This has obviously changed since I first registered, and given I’m getting some response from the API it is at least partially working, but besides that I have no idea…
-
@DarrenHill Hi. Apologies for the late reply. I am on a different timezone than the other guys.
I would suggest using MMM-NewsAPI. The same API key that you are using with MMM-News will work.
-
@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: "" }
