This go service through the use of Twilio and NewsAPI will hit the NewsAPI endpoint for igns headlines and send them to your cellphone number along with a small description of the headline and a link to the article or video.
To build this first cd into the directory of news.go then run
$ go build news.go
or if you want this to run without a window and just as a background process
$ go build -ldflags -H=windowsgui news.go
For this program to work you need to export these things in your environment:
export TWILIO_API_KEY=[api-key]
export TWILIO_SID=[account-sid]
export TWILIO_NUMBER=[your twilio number]
export NEWS_API_KEY=[api-key]
Both your Twilio API key and account SID can be found on your Twilio console
News API key can be found after signing up with https://newsapi.org/
The contract for this program is as follows:
./news <number to send messages to>
Note: the number needs to have the country Dialing code as well.
So for the United States an example number would be
+15555555555
