NAME

Web::NewsAPI::Artcle - Object class representing a News API article

SYNOPSIS

use v5.10;
use Web::NewsAPI;

my $newsapi = Web::NewsAPI->new(
   api_key => $my_secret_api_key,
);

say "Here are some top American-news headlines about science...";
my $result = $newsapi->top_headlines(
   category => 'science', country => 'us',
);
# $result is now a Web::NewsAPI::Result object.
# We can call its 'articles' method to get a list of article objects:
for my $article ( $result->articles ) {
   say $article->title;
   say $article->description;
   print "\n";
}

DESCRIPTION

Objects of this class represent a News API news article. Generally, you won't create these objects yourself; you'll get them as a result of calling methods on a Web::NewsAPI object or a Web::NewsAPI::Result object.

METHODS
