How To Run

To clone and run this application, you'll need Git and Node.js (which comes with npm) installed on your computer. From your command line:

# Clone this repository
$ git clone https://github.com/cn-2k/bic-api

Note If you're using Linux Bash for Windows, see this guide or use node from the command prompt.

Finally, change the .env.example filename to .env and fulfill the BIC_URL with a valid BeInCrypto URL that contain a list of articles, similar to: https://beincrypto.com/analysis/.

How to use

This project is basically an API so you can run locally or use the demo URL that I've provided on Vercel, see the endpoints avaiable to use:

API Endpoints:

/api/articles - List the recent articles or news provided by the env. variable BIC_URL, make sure to provide a correct URL, in my case I've used https://br.beincrypto.com/analise-bitcoin/.

/api/articles/content - Extracts the content of a specific article by passing the article link as a query parameter.
