Before installing the required packages, it is recommended to create a virtual environment.
If you don't have the virtual environment installed:
$ python -m pip install virtualenv
Create the Virtual Environment: Run the following command, replacing env with the name you want for your environment:
$ python -m venv env
Activate the Virtual Environment: To activate the environment, use:
-
Windows:
env\scripts\activate -
Mac:
source env/bin/activate
Deactivate the Virtual Environment: When you're done working, you can deactivate the environment with:
deactivate
After installing and activating the virtual environment, run the following command to install all required packages.
$ pip install -r requirements.txt
Go to https://newsapi.org/account and sign up for an account if you don't have one, or log in if you already have an account.
Once logged in, navigate to the API Key section and copy your unique API key.
Open the views.py file in your project.
Find the line where the API key is needed.
Replace 'ENTER YOU APIKEY HERE' with the API key you obtained from NewsAPI.
In the same directory where manage.py is located, run this command to start the server and enjoy!
$ py manage.py runserver
