API Usage

The app fetches news articles using NewsAPI.

• Base URL: https://newsapi.org/
• Endpoint: v2/top-headlines
• Authentication: API Key stored securely in gradle.properties
• Example API Call:

  interface ArticlesAPIService {
      @GET("v2/top-headlines")
      suspend fun getArticles(
          @Query("country") country: String = "us",
          @Query("q") query: String? = null,
          @Query("apiKey") apiKey: String
      ): ArticlesResponse
  }

• Uses BuildConfig.NEWS_API_KEY instead of hardcoding.
• Ensures API key security using gradle.properties.
