SugarNewsAPI 1.0.2

SugarNews API client library for .NET (C#)

SugarNews API is a simple .NET 7.0 HTTP REST API for searching and retrieving live articles from all over the web from NewsAPI.org. It can help you answer questions like:

• What top stories is the NY Times running right now?
• What new articles were published about the next iPhone today?
• Has my company or product been mentioned or reviewed by any blogs recently?

You can search for articles with any combination of the following criteria:

• Keyword or phrase. Eg: find all articles containing the word 'Microsoft'.
• Date published. Eg: find all articles published yesterday.
• Source name. Eg: find all articles by 'TechCrunch'.
• Source domain name. Eg: find all articles published on nytimes.com.
• Language. Eg: find all articles written in English.

You can sort the results in the following orders:

• Date published
• Relevancy to search keyword
• Popularity of source

You need an API key to use the API - this is a unique key that identifies your requests. They're free for development, open-source, and non-commercial use. You can get one here: https://newsapi.org.

The SugarNews API client library is available on Nuget. You can install it either through the Nuget package management window in Visual Studio by searching for SugarNewsAPI, or by running the following in the package manager console:
