Fetching data with NewsAPI

[tibor]

I think the NewsAPI would be a nice addition to RSS feeds.

There are some pros:

• reliable data and
• proven option to fetch media articles
• 70 sources available with access to titles, authors, article images and excerpts

Cons:

• Only excerpt possible, not the full article
• dependency from a 3rd party developer
• not usable for blogs or smaller news web sites

However, I think NewsAPI would make diffengine more reliable and gives us further options to style the ouput (with image layouts and author name).

The developer is also thinking about adding a RSS / Atom feature. Maybe a collaboration would be great for both projects?
