📦 Installation

Prerequisites

• Python 3.8 or higher
• pip (Python package manager)

Steps

# 1. Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/yourusername/MultiAPI-Dashboard.git
cd MultiAPI-Dashboard

# 2. Create a virtual environment (recommended)
python -m venv venv

# 3. Activate the virtual environment
# Windows:
venv\Scripts\activate
# macOS/Linux:
source venv/bin/activate

# 4. Install dependencies
pip install -r requirements.txt

Optional: Configure News API Key

For the best news experience, get a free API key from NewsData.io (no credit card required):

1. Register at newsdata.io
2. Copy your API key from the dashboard
3. Open config.py and paste your key:

   NEWS_API_KEY = "your_api_key_here"

Note: The app works without a news API key! It automatically falls back to Google News RSS.
