Inshorts News

About Inshorts News

Inshorts News API is an unofficial, open-source wrapper written in Flask that fetches news content gathered by the Inshorts app. It exposes a single GET endpoint that returns news filtered by category, with categories including national, business, sports, world, politics, technology, startup, entertainment, science, automobile, and others. Each response returns a JSON object containing articles with fields such as author, title, content, date, time, image URL, source URL, and a read-more link.

The project is intended for developers who want programmatic access to short-form news summaries, such as for building bots or apps like the Telegram channel mentioned in the repository. It requires installing dependencies from a requirements.txt file and running a local Flask server (app.py), and it can be deployed to platforms such as a VPS, Heroku, or Vercel. The repository is licensed under MIT.
