TopHeadlines

This gem allows users to view the top headlines from major news sources. Users can open the headlines in the browser directly from the command line. Functionality includes: AP, BBC, Bloomberg, CNN, Daily Beast, FiveThirtyEight, Forbes, Fox News, Guardian, Huffington Post, Independent UK, Le Monde, MSNBC, New York Times, NPR, Politico, Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, and Yahoo News.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'top-headlines'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install top-headlines

To use the gem, you'll need to require 'top-headlines', instantiate a new TopHeadlines::CLI, and use the .call class method (e.g. TopHeadlines::CLI.new.call). You'll then be prompted by on-screen instructions.

In lib/top-headlines/source.rb, users will find a SOURCES hash. Users may add their own favorite news sources to the hash, so that the gem dynamically scrapes even more headlines.

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake spec to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
