Overview
This skill is a straightforward Google News lookup integration that uses a disclosed Scavio API key and external API call.
Before installing, confirm you are comfortable using Scavio as a third-party news API, storing SCAVIO_API_KEY in your environment, and spending one credit per request; avoid placing the API key directly in source files.
