 ## Project Overview

-DS Task AI News is an AI-powered news retrieval system that gathers news articles from various online sources, stores them in a vector database, and enables users to discover relevant articles based on their interests. The system uses advanced AI techniques to find and recommend related news articles dynamically.
+DS Task AI News is a fully functional AI-powered news retrieval system that aggregates news articles from multiple RSS sources, stores them in a vector database, and provides intelligent recommendations. The system features a complete REST API, vector-based similarity search, and AI-ready architecture for enhanced news analysis.

-## Fetching News Using RSS Feeds
+The API will be available at `http://localhost:8000`

-* News is aggregated from RSS feeds of different news sources.
-* The `news_fetcher.py` script pulls data from RSS feeds, extracts relevant information, and stores it in the database.
+## 🚀 Quick Start

-### **Example RSS Fetching Code (Python)**
+### Test the System

-```python
-import feedparser
-
-def fetch_rss_news(feed_url):
-    feed = feedparser.parse(feed_url)
-    articles = []
-    for entry in feed.entries:
-        articles.append({
-            "title": entry.title,
-            "content": entry.summary,
-            "date": entry.published,
-            "slug": entry.title.lower().replace(" ", "-"),
-            "categories": ["Technology", "AI and Innovation"],
-            "tags": ["AI", "Technology", "Innovation"]
-        })
-    return articles
+1. **Check System Health:**
+```bash
+curl http://localhost:8000/health
 ```

-## API Endpoints
+2. **Fetch Latest News:**
+```bash
+curl -X POST http://localhost:8000/fetch-news
+```

-* `GET /fetch-news`: Fetches news from RSS feeds.
-* `GET /recommend-news?article_id=xyz`: Retrieves similar news based on the selected article.
+3. **Get Trending Articles:**
+```bash
+curl http://localhost:8000/trending?top_k=5
+```
+
+4. **Search for Articles:**
+```bash
+curl -X POST http://localhost:8000/recommend-by-query \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{"query": "artificial intelligence", "top_k": 3}'
+```
+
+## 📡 RSS News Fetching
+
+The system automatically fetches news from multiple sources:
+
+* **BBC Technology**: Latest tech news and innovations
+* **TechCrunch**: Startup and technology industry news
+* **WIRED**: Science, technology, and digital culture
+
+### Production RSS Implementation
+
+Our implementation includes:
+- **Error handling** for unreliable feeds
+- **Content cleaning** (HTML tag removal, truncation)
+- **Duplicate detection** using content hashing
+- **Source attribution** and metadata preservation
+- **Rate limiting** and respectful fetching
