This project is a serverless proxy server for the News API, designed to fetch and serve news articles securely. It's built to be deployed on Netlify and provides a simple API for retrieving top headlines and searching for news articles.

• Fetch top headlines for specific news categories
• Search for news articles based on keywords
• Pagination support for both endpoints
• CORS-enabled for cross-origin requests
• Serverless architecture for easy deployment and scaling

• Node.js
• Express.js
• Axios for HTTP requests
• Serverless-http for serverless deployment
• CORS middleware for handling cross-origin requests
• Netlify for hosting and serverless functions

1. Clone the repository: git clone https://github.com/SID9927/news-proxy-server.git

2. Navigate to the project directory: cd news-proxy-server

3. Install dependencies: npm install

4. Set up your News API key:

• Sign up for an API key at NewsAPI.org
• Set the NEWS_API_KEY environment variable in your Netlify deployment settings

5. Deploy to Netlify:

• Connect your GitHub repository to Netlify
• Netlify will automatically deploy your project using the settings in netlify.toml

The proxy server provides two main endpoints:

1. Fetch top headlines: GET /api/news?category={category}&pageSize={pageSize}&page={page}

2. Search for news articles: GET /api/search?q={query}&pageSize={pageSize}&page={page}

Replace {category}, {query}, {pageSize}, and {page} with appropriate values.

• functions/api.js: Main serverless function containing the Express app and API routes
• netlify.toml: Netlify configuration file for build settings and redirects
• package.json: Project dependencies and scripts
