Not getting news

WilliamF

Hello, I’m trying to get Swedish news on the magic mirror.
But all the articles are 1 day old. When I increase the page size I get more news, but all of them are still 1 day old.

I can also only get two news sites to work and not specified news so I get all categories from sport to economics.
I would like to limit it to just Global News and International news.

I can also not specify either country or language, When I tried to change news to se it didnt work, so I changed it to us stil no luck. After that I just added a bunch of english news sites like bbc and cnn. But when I changed the language to en I got 0 news

Best Regards
William.

The free tier of NewsAPI provides only 1-day later news. When you want realtime news, you should pay.

If you set config valuechoice: "headlines", you can use category, but;

Only available categories; business, entertainment, general, health, science, sports, technology.
It cannot be used mixed with sources.

For the specified country or language, you can test it by yourself.
You can open the browser and navigate this. (Replace API_KEY to yours. You can get your API_KEY on newspai.org site after login)

headlines;

https://newsapi.org/v2/top-headlines?country=se&apiKey=API_KEY

everything;

https://newsapi.org/v2/everything?language=en&q=apple&apiKey=API_KEY

But the API doesn’t support se language.

For the usage of country, everything endpoint doesn’t support country options. Only the headlines endpoint supports it. But you should know this; country: "se" doesn’t mean “News from Swedish Press”, but rather similar to “Popular news in Sweden” or “news consumed commonly in/about Sweden”.
