This is the v2 for my previous Inshorts News API. You can check out the v1 here.
The v2 API comes with better fetching speeds, more accurate and ordered results, and a wider array of categories than the v1 API. The v2 API directly incorporates official Inshorts API underneath that provides all these benefits.
- 🚀 Blazing fast
- 📄 15 different categories to choose from
- 🏷️ Support for trending, top and all news along with 15 different news topics/categories.

- business

- sports
- technology
- startups
- entertainment
- hatke
- education
- world
- automobile
