The tool runs a lightweight web server that queries the News API and returns formatted headlines for display in a terminal. It presents each article with title, publication date, a brief excerpt, and a short link to the full story, supporting primarily US‑based sources but also allowing other regions and categories via URL parameters.

Developers can retrieve the latest headlines with a simple curl request, using endpoints such as /trump, /world+cup, or /category=business, and can request help for additional options. The server is written in JavaScript, uses npm for dependency management, and requires a user‑provided News API key set in the environment.

The project is open source under the Apache 2 license, includes ESLint configuration and a pre‑commit hook for code quality, and welcomes contributions through pull requests on GitHub.
