MMM-EveryNews is not loading anything

Re: MMM-EveryNews is not loading anything
I disabled all modules to try to debug this issue but still could not get any news loaded and no errors using rpm start dev.
It says “Anyone’s presents…”
I don’t have any Google modules loaded.

@JeanMichelC yeh, no error is reported… do this

edit the node_helper.js and
change this

}, (error, response, body) => {
            if (!error && response.statusCode == 200) {
                    var result = JSON.parse(body).articles;
                    this.sendSocketNotification('NATGEO_RESULT', result);
                }
        });

to this

}, (error, response, body) => {
            if (!error) {
                if(response.statusCode == 200) {
                    var result = JSON.parse(body).articles;
                    this.sendSocketNotification('NATGEO_RESULT', result);
                } else {
                     console.error(this.name+" status failed=",response.statusCode)
                }
            } else {
                console.error(this.name+" error=",error)
            }
        });

with a bad api key I see on the console now

[11.01.2023 12:45.23.391] [ERROR] MMM-EveryNews status failed= 401

using the config provided in the module readme

I edtited node_helper.js in this folder MagicMirror/js and could not find the code you asked me to change. The only reference I found that checking the response return code 200 is

NodeHelper.checkFetchStatus = function (response) {
// response.status >= 200 && response.status < 300
if (response.ok) {
return response;
} else {
throw Error(response.statusText);
}
};

I was looking in the wrong folder, I found it in the MMM-EveryNews folder, making changes now

@sdetweil said in MMM-EveryNews is not loading anything:

       if (!error) {
            if(response.statusCode == 200) {
                var result = JSON.parse(body).articles;
                this.sendSocketNotification('NATGEO_RESULT', result);
            } else {
                 console.error(this.name+" status failed=",response.statusCode)
            }
        } else {
            console.error(this.name+" error=",error)
        }

I get a Bad Request 400 response code, any idea?

This is the entry in the config.js file
{
disabled: false,
module: ‘MMM-EveryNews’,
position: ‘top right’,
config: {
source: “msnbc”, // any source from https://newsapi.org/sources. // Up to 10 at once
scroll: true, // description scroll or static
scrollSpeed: “3”, // if scroll is true
apiKey: “xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx”, // free API key from https://newsapi.org/register
useHeader: true, // False if you don’t want a header
header: “Over 30,000 News Sources!”, // Any text you want. useHeader must be true
maxWidth: “350px”,
animationSpeed: 3000, // fade speed
rotateInterval: 5 * 60 * 1000,
}
},

I tested the API key on NewsAPI site and it worked fine

@JeanMichelC no… my guess is that the api has changed and the module has not been updated.
the author is currently not available.

but, see the comments in issue 5
