What it does

Indian News API wraps the NewsData.io service to fetch real-time headlines and full articles focused on India. The skill provides scripts to request latest news, filter by category, search queries, and return results in multiple Indian languages.

When to use it

To surface current Indian news in chatbots or agent workflows.
When building localized news features (Hindi, Bengali, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Kannada, Marathi, Gujarati, Punjabi, Urdu).
For prototypes that need quick access to categorized or keyword-filtered Indian news.

What's included

Scripts: scripts/news.py with commands for latest, category, and search. The repo requires a NewsData.io API key (NEWSDATA_API_KEY).
References: API dashboard and docs links to NewsData.io.
Instructions: how to obtain an API key, environment variable setup, and usage examples.

Compatible agents

Agent-run Python environments that can call external HTTP APIs. This skill depends on an external API key and network access.

Audit Summary

Indian News API skill fetches real-time Indian news headlines via NewsData.io with category and language filtering. The Python script is clean stdlib-only code with proper argparse and error handling, but requires a NEWSDATA_API_KEY env var to function. Script exited with argparse error when called without arguments (expected in dry-run). No security concerns — uses stdlib urllib, no hardcoded credentials, network calls only to documented API.

Watch Out

Requires NEWSDATA_API_KEY environment variable to be set
API key is passed as URL query parameter (could appear in server logs)
Free tier NewsData.io API has rate limits

Notes

Clean, simple skill. Stdlib-only script is a plus. Niche audience (Indian news with multilingual support). Script would run fine with proper arguments and API key.
