Top News for Windows Phone is a sample Windows Phone 8 app that aims to demonstrate the core concepts of Windows Phone development and REST API incorporation. This app uses the USA TODAY Articles API to obtain today's top news articles in JSON format. The JSON is then parsed using Json.NET and displayed in the app. The article names can be tapped to open the full article in the web browser.
The only setup required to run this app is a USA TODAY Articles API key. You can request one at the USA TODAY Developer Network website. Once you have your API key, replace the following line within UsaTodayTopNews\UsaTodayApi.cs:
private static string ApiKey = "YOUR_API_KEY";This software is distributed free of charge and licensed under the MIT License. For more information about this license and the terms of use of this software, please review the LICENSE file.
