Summary

This article guides on how to automate and receive daily news updates in Node.js using Twilio SendGrid and News API. To get started, you need to set up your environment by creating a new Node.js project, generating API keys for Twilio SendGrid and News API, and installing necessary dependencies. You then write an async function `getDailyNews()` that retrieves top headlines from the News API between yesterday and today, constructs an HTML template for the JSON response data, and sends an email using SendGrid. The main function calls these functions in a proper sequence and schedules the job to run daily using node-schedule. Finally, you test the application by running the `index.js` file and schedule it to run continuously using Forever.
