A repository for a demo which will serve news articles Problem Statement: Create a REST service which answers following queries from scrap data: a. Search available authors b.

Postman collection URl for the implemented APIs: https://www.getpostman.com/collections/b7e648077f5f52b28b0f

Approach:

1. Refer DBDesign.png to get a clear idea of how we can do the DB design for the above problem statement(minimalistic one).
2. To create the DB Run DBScript.sql.
3. To run the project run node ./bin/www will start the API server.
4. To check the APIs use postman collection shared.
5. In the API Articles by date(http://localhost:3003/articles/2019-03-02) I have done a http call to hindu site to get the data(not in desired format it directly gives the HTML of that page).
6. If we need data as json or some format that an API should return we need to parse the HTML(web crawling can be used) that we are getting from the Hindu site.
7. Using web-scrapping implemented for 2 APIs to get the titles properly a. Implemented for http://localhost:3003/categories/national/articles/all b. Implemented for http://localhost:3003/articles/by_city/hyderabad
