I’m making a political news site and I was wondering how I could grab news from a website, presumably using an API, and put it on my site. Detailed help would be appreciated.
This is not a Velo-related question, it belongs more on Stackoverflow. But to give you a hint, google for “web site scrapers”.
You will need to read about how to access 3rd party services in the article Velo: How to Access 3rd-Party Services with the Fetch API .
A nice simple example to start with is Create a Weather Widget . Also, take a look at the Advanced examples , many of them access 3rd party services. A couple of good examples to start with are: Example: Using the Places API from Google Maps services and Example: Send email with the SendGrid REST interface .
