This guide skips the theory and walks you through building a working <\/span><b>news monitoring dashboard<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> in an afternoon, using your own NewsData.io API key.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">By the end, you&#8217;ll have a live, filterable news feed with sentiment breakdown and real-time alerts, something you can point at your brand, your competitors, or an entire industry.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]\n<h2><b>What You&#8217;ll Need Before You Start<\/b><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A NewsData.io API key (<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/newsdata.io\/register\">sign up free here<\/a><\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> \u2014 the free tier is enough to follow along)<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Basic familiarity with Python<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">5\u201310 minutes to get your first live feed running<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you&#8217;d rather learn how categories and tags work behind the scenes before filtering your feed, our guide on<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/newsdata.io\/blog\/news-categorization-and-tagging\/\"> how news categorisation and tagging work<\/a><\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> is worth a quick read first.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Step 1: Make Your First API Call<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>Start by confirming your API key works and seeing what a raw response looks like.<\/p>\n<p>import requests<\/p>\n<p><code>API_KEY = &quot;YOUR_API_KEY&quot;<br \/>\nurl = &quot;https:\/\/newsdata.io\/api\/1\/latest&quot;<br \/>\nparams = {<br \/>\n&quot;apikey&quot;: API_KEY,<br \/>\n&quot;language&quot;: &quot;en&quot;<br \/>\n}<\/code><\/p>\n<p><code>response = requests.get(url, params=params)<br \/>\ndata = response.json()<br \/>\nprint(data[&quot;results&quot;][0])<\/code><\/p>\n<p>A single result looks roughly like this:<\/p>\n<p><code>{<br \/>\n&quot;title&quot;: &quot;Sample headline text&quot;,<br \/>\n&quot;link&quot;: &quot;https:\/\/example.com\/article&quot;,<br \/>\n&quot;source_id&quot;: &quot;example_source&quot;,<br \/>\n&quot;pubDate&quot;: &quot;2026-07-10 09:15:00&quot;,<br \/>\n&quot;category&quot;: [&quot;technology&quot;],<br \/>\n;code&gt;\u00a0&quot;sentiment&quot;: &quot;positive&quot;,<br \/>\n&quot;language&quot;: &quot;english&quot;<br \/>\n}<\/code><\/p>\n<p>Note: the free plan has a daily request limit, so avoid polling too aggressively while testing \u2014 a check every few minutes is plenty for most monitoring use cases.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]\n<h2><b>Step 2: Define What You&#8217;re Monitoring<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>This is the step that turns a generic feed into an actual<b>news monitoring tool<\/b> built around what matters to you: a brand name, a competitor, an industry term, or a specific topic.<\/p>\n<p><code>params =<br \/>\n&quot;apikey&quot;: API_KEY,<br \/>\n&quot;q&quot;: &quot;AI&quot;,<br \/>\n&quot;category&quot;: &quot;technology&quot;,<br \/>\n&quot;language&quot;: &quot;en&quot;<br \/>\n}<br \/>\nresponse = requests.get(url, params=params)<br \/>\ndata = response.json()<br \/>\nfor article in data[&quot;results&quot;]:<br \/>\n&lt;&quot;&gt;\u00a0\u00a0&lt;<br \/>\n&gt;\u00a0\u00a0print(article[&quot;title&quot;], &quot;-&quot;, article[&quot;source_id&quot;])<\/code><\/p>\n<p>Swap&#8221;<strong>AI<\/strong>&#8221; for your own brand name, product, or competitor to start tracking anything relevant to you. You can combine <strong>q, category, country<\/strong>,arrow results as tightly as you need.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]\n<h2><b>Step 3: Store Articles for Historical Reference<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>To track trends over time rather than just see a live snapshot, save matched articles to a simple database.<\/p>\n<p><code>import sqlite3<br \/>\nconn = sqlite3.connect(&quot;news_monitor.db&quot;)<br \/>\ncursor = conn.cursor()<br \/>\ncursor.execute(&quot;&quot;&quot;<br \/>\nCREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS articles<br \/>\nid INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT<br \/>\ntitle TEXT,<br \/>\nsource

\/>\nconn.commit()<\/code><\/p>\n<p>The UNIQUE constraint on link<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, combined with INSERT OR IGNORE, handles deduplication automatically when the same story appears across multiple polling cycles or overlapping sources.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]\n<h2><b>Step 4: Build the Live Feed Frontend<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>Stream lit is the fastest way to get a usable interface without building a full frontend from scratch.<br \/>\n<code>import streamlit as st<br \/>\nimport sqlite3<br \/>\nimport pandas as pd<br \/>\nst.title(&quot;News Monitoring Dashboard&quot;)<br \/>\nconn = sqlite3.connect(&quot;news_monitor.db&quot;)<br \/>\ndf = pd.read_sql_query(&quot;SELECT * FROM articles ORDER BY pub_date DESC&quot;, conn)<br \/>\nst.metric(&quot;Total Articles Tracked&quot;, len(df))<br \/>\nst.bar_chart(df[&quot;source&quot;].value_counts())<br \/>\nst.dataframe(df[[&quot;title&quot;, &quot;source&quot;, &quot;sentiment&quot;, &quot;pub_date&quot;]])\u00a0<\/code><\/p>\n<p>Run it with stream lit run dashboard.py,and you&#8217;ll have a live feed, a source breakdown chart, and a keyword hit count on screen.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]\n<h2><b>Step 5: Add Sentiment Breakdown<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>NewsData.io returns sentiment directly in the API response, so no extra processing is needed to add this layer.<\/p>\n<p><code>sentiment_counts = df[&quot;sentiment&quot;].value_counts()<br \/>\nst.subheader(&quot;Sentiment Breakdown&quot;)<br \/>\nst.bar_chart(sentiment_counts)<\/code><\/p>\n<p>This is especially useful for reputation or crisis monitoring, where a sudden spike in negative sentiment matters more than the raw volume of mentions.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]\n<h2><b>Step 6: Set Up Real-Time Alerts<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>A simple scheduled check can flag spikes before you&#8217;d otherwise notice them.<\/p>\n<p><code>def check_for_spike(df, threshold=5):<br \/>\nrecent_negative = df[df[&quot;sentiment&quot;] == &quot;negative&quot;].head(10)<br \/>\nif len(recent_negative) &gt;= threshold:<br \/>\nsend_alert(f&quot;Spike detected: {len(recent_negative)} negative mentions&quot;)<br \/>\ndef send_alert(message):<br \/>\n# Replace with your Slack webhook, email service, or notification tool<br \/>\nprint(&quot;ALERT:&quot;, message)<\/code><\/p>\n<p>Run this check on a schedule (a cron job, Streamlit auto-refresh, or a scheduled cloud function) to catch spikes as they happen, rather than the next time you manually check.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]\n<h2><b>Extending Your Dashboard<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Once the core feed is running, there&#8217;s a lot of room to build on it:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Add the<\/span><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/newsdata.io\/historical-news-data-api\">

Check the<\/span><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/newsdata.io\/pricing\"> pricing page<\/a><\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> for current limits and paid tiers if you need higher-frequency polling.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Can I run this dashboard entirely on the free tier?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Yes, for light monitoring of a single keyword or brand, the free tier is sufficient. Heavier use, like polling frequently across multiple keywords, will likely need a paid plan.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>How do I add more sources or categories later?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Just adjust the <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">category<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">country<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, or <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">q<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> parameters in your API calls. No changes to your database schema or frontend are needed since the structure already supports any category.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Can this be scaled to monitor multiple brands or keywords at once?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Yes. Run separate queries per keyword, or combine multiple terms in a single query, and tag results by keyword in your database so you can filter and compare in the dashboard.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]\n<h2><b>Conclusion: Your Dashboard Is Live \u2014 Here&#8217;s What&#8217;s Next<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">You&#8217;ve now got a working <\/span><b>news monitoring dashboard<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">: a live feed, sentiment breakdown, historical storage, and real-time alerts, all built on the NewsData.io API.
