UK Latest News ChatGPT Plugin

This repository hosts the 'UK Latest News' ChatGPT Plugin, a Next.js app designed to fetch and present the UK's latest news stories in ChatGPT.

You can install it via the ChatGPT Plugin Store, or read on to run it locally.

Getting Started

The first step to get this project up and running locally is to clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/rossheat/uk-latest-news-chatgpt-plugin.git
cd uk-latest-news-chatgpt-plugin

Then, create a .env.local file in the root directory of your project. Add the following line to the file:

SERVICE_ACCESS_TOKEN=your_token_here

Replace your_token_here with an actual service access token (a random alphanumeric string). This SERVICE_ACCESS_TOKEN is used by the application to verify the authenticity of incoming requests. If the token used in the request does not match the one specified in the .env.local file, the request will not be processed and a "401 Unauthorized" error will be returned.

Then, install the dependencies:

npm install
# or
yarn
# or
pnpm install

Now you can run the development server:

npm run dev
# or
yarn dev
# or
pnpm dev

Open http://localhost:3000 with your browser to see the result.

API Overview

• GET /api/v1/stories: Fetches the latest news stories from multiple UK news sources and returns an array of Open Graph-compatible data for each story.
• GET /api/v1/story: Given a URL, extracts the story content from the webpage.

Detailed information about the API's operations, responses, and potential errors is available in the /public/.well-known/openapi.yaml file.
