Use when users need daily news summaries, current events, or want to stay informed about world news in Chinese.

Versionv0.1.0
Installs3
#clawhub
βš™οΈ Configuration

  • --encoding, -e : Optional. Specifies the output response format. Valid options are text, json, markdown, image, and image-proxy. The API defaults to json if not specified.
  • --date, -d : Optional. Fetch historical news for a specific date. If omitted, fetches today's news. Note: If this is the only argument provided, you can omit the --date flag entirely.

    • Return Values

    The script securely calls the 60s API and outputs the response to stdout. Depending on the encoding parameter, the response could be a JSON string, plain text, markdown, or image URLs.

    Usage Examples

    # Get today's news using default API encoding (json)
./scripts/news.sh
    Get today's news in plain text format
    
./scripts/news.sh --encoding text
    Get news for a specific date using flags
    
./scripts/news.sh --date 2024-03-01
    Get news for a specific date (simplified usage without flags)
    
./scripts/news.sh 2024-03-01
    Get news for a specific date in markdown format
    
./scripts/news.sh -e markdown -d 2024-03-01

    πŸ“‹ Tips & Best Practices

    Issue: No data returned

  • Solution: Try requesting previous dates (yesterday or the day before)
  • The service tries latest 3 days automatically

    • Issue: Image not loading

  • Solution: Use encoding=image-proxy instead of encoding=image
  • The proxy endpoint directly returns image binary data

    • Issue: Old date requested

  • Solution: Data is only available for recent dates
  • Check the response status code
