newscatcher VS Ciphey

Built this news website for my portfolio using NewsApi.org but turns out its only got CORS enabled for localhost which I found out when I was about to publish my web page. Found and tried another API from newscatcherapi.com but it only gives me 50 API calls for the free plan which I ran out of very quickly.

I think you would benefit from a news data API like our newscatcher. We don't drill down to the state level (yet) but we do allow you to filter news by country, language, individual sources, date ranges, and you can also use a query like "fire" to search for relevant articles. And the data is returned as JSON objects, so it's pretty easy to work with.

Hi Jakub,

Nice. I want to talk to you about the news feed: it could be more than just the latest news (NLP enriched)

I'm a co-founder of https://newscatcherapi.com/

I'm so sick of top notch trading platforms to just provide a list of latest news while there could be so much more insights.

Give newscatcher a try

We’re ~17k MRR right now. Being doing it for almost 2 years.

What made us take off is I and my cofounder running through our savings. I did it for ~15 months.

One thing I had to start doing earlier is not trying to get everyone buy our product (we sell news articles published online as a source of data for insight mining) [0]

I’ve lost so much time on people who’d never be able to use what we have unless we completely change our product.

And yeah, marketing is super important. And, it’s going to take some time.

I also discovered Ciphey. Neat little tool indeed, but it's being deprecated. It's mentioned in this issue[1] and being replaced with Ares[2]. Neither could decipher this strange encryption[3] I used it on :(

Check Ciphey, I have used several times before and overall it’s great. https://github.com/Ciphey/Ciphey

It can help you detect various encryption and encodings and even decrypt them. Ciphey

I followed the steps here . I am running Python 3.10 (64). When I try to install Ciphey using the instructions, on my cmd prompt I get the following:

if you're looking for something that would decrypt most well-known encodings/ciphers, there's ciphey. but no such thing exists to decrypt every known file type because, if it did, everyone would be using it.
