First, you need to gather data from the Newsdata API. Visit the Newsdata API documentation and make an HTTP GET request using a tool like Postman or curl in your command line. The request should include your API key and any necessary parameters to filter the news articles you need. Copy the JSON response for further processing.

With the JSON data retrieved, you need to format it for Google Sheets. Use a JSON editor or an online JSON formatter to clean up and organize the data. Ensure that you're focusing on the specific fields you want to import, such as title, description, and publication date.

Since Google Sheets does not directly import JSON, you need to convert your JSON data to a CSV format. Utilize a script or an online JSON-to-CSV converter. Make sure the CSV file has headers corresponding to the data fields you selected (e.g., Title, Description, Date).

Open Google Sheets in your browser and create a new spreadsheet. This will be the destination for your imported news data. You can name the spreadsheet appropriately to reflect the content it will hold.

In your new Google Sheets document, go to the "File" menu and select "Import." Choose "Upload" and select the CSV file you created. In the import dialog, select "Replace current sheet" to populate the spreadsheet with your data. Ensure all data is correctly aligned under the appropriate headers.

Once the data is in Google Sheets, you can format it to improve readability. Adjust column widths, apply text wrapping, and use filters or sorting if necessary. This step helps make your data analysis-ready and visually appealing.

If you plan to regularly update the data, consider writing a script in Google Apps Script to automate the process. This script can fetch new data from the Newsdata API, convert it to CSV, and update your Google Sheet. While this requires some programming knowledge, it eliminates the need for manual updates.
