Done! You will see new articles printed in your command line as soon as they are published on one of the supported news platforms.

Node.js

Type in your command line:

mkdir my-project && cd my-project to create a new folder for your project.
npm init -y to set up Node.js boilerplate.
npm install realtime-newsapi to install the package.

const api = require('realtime-newsapi')();

api.on('articles', (articles) => {
