Laravel News API

Description

For this assignment you have to implement an application fetches news from News API. and return it back to client

Functions

The two functionalities that need to be implemented are "list" and "search".

This is an example request for a generic GET request which should fulfill the "list".

> Request
GET /news   HTTP/1.1
Authorization: Basic QWxhZGRpbjpvcGVuIHNlc2FtZQ
Accept: application/json

> Response
[
  {
    "headline": "Human organs can be stored for three times as long in major breakthrough for transplants",  // Headline of the article
    "link": "https://www.telegraph.co.uk/science/2019/09/09/human-organs-can-stored-three-times-long-major-breakthrough/",  // Link of the article
  },
  {
    "headline": "Depth of Field: The Shared Memory of One World Trade Center",
    "link": "https://www.wired.com/story/one-world-trade-center-history-future/",
  },
]

You should also implement a feature that allows someone to "search" through the news.

> Request
GET /news?query=bitcoin   HTTP/1.1
Authorization: Basic QWxhZGRpbjpvcGVuIHNlc2FtZQ
Accept: application/json

> Response
[
  {
    "headline": "IRS goes after cryptocurrency owners for unpaid taxes",
    "link": "https://www.cbsnews.com/news/own-bitcoin-irs-pursues-cryptocurrency-owners-for-unpaid-taxes/",
  },
  {
    "headline": "Skirting US sanctions, Cubans flock to cryptocurrency to shop online, send funds",
    "link": "https://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/business/skirting-us-sanctions--cubans-flock-to-cryptocurrency-to-shop-online--send-funds-11901148",
  },
]

Constraints

There are some constraints that you should be aware of. Not completing any of the following constraints will stop your candidacy from moving forward:

You must use Laravel framework.
You must return the two fields that are in the sample requests above in JSON format. You can add more fields if you'd like.

In addition, we will be assessing the following points:

Submission

You should upload your code to a Github repository (private or public) and share it with us. Your repository should have a README.md that explains how to run the code and if you’ve done anything extra. If you fail to produce this repository within the time period mentioned in the email you received your application will be rejected. Best of luck!
