Exploring a news data service

Let's now build a bot that will tweet news articles to its followers at regular intervals. We will then extend it to be personalized by users through a conversation that happens over direct messaging with the bot. In order to build a news bot, we need a source where we can get news articles. We are going to explore a news service called NewsAPI.org in this section. NewsAPI is a service that aggregates news articles from roughly 70 newspapers around the globe.
