Package to get news articles based on certain keywords and save them as GeoJson-features, which provides the option to load them into csWeb.
For example, if you want to create a folder with news items, do the following.
- Download the zip file from csWeb-example and unpack it in a new folder.
- Install all regular dependencies in this new project, install csweb-news package, and compile the source:
npm i
npm i csweb-news --s
cd public && bower i
cd ..
tsc -w -p .
- Add the news service to your server.ts file. When starting the server (
node server.js), you should see a message on the console upon loading the file.
cs.start(() => {
var opts = { corrs: true,
newsFolder: __directory + '/news',
alchemyApi: config.alchemyFeedApiKey,
calaisApi: config.openCalaisApiKey,
keywords: config.keywords,
updateInterval: config.updateIntervalSeconds
};
var ns = new csWebNews.NewsSource(cs.server, opts);
console.log('started');
});
- Request an API key for AlchemyNews and OpenCalais and paste them in the configuration.json file.
- Place the topics that you are interested in, in the keywords parameter of the configuration.json. e.g.
{"openCalaisApiKey" : "xxxxx",
"alchemyFeedApiKey" : "xxxxx",
"keywords" : ["Soccer", "Premier League"],
"updateIntervalSeconds" : 900}
...
The news items will be put in the ./news folder. More information of how to put these features on the map, can be found here: csWeb-wiki.
