This service is part of the API Builder demo services. These services are not production ready and are intended for demonstration purposes only.
This service provides a consistent API for accessing news provider APIs. This allows other services in the mesh to access this content without being concerned with the provider details.
Currently only a single back end is supported - https://newsapi.org, however this could be replaced without affecting other services in the mesh. To use you must obtain an API key from https://newsapi.org and set it in the environment as NEWSAPI_APIKEY.
