## Description

YoApy News automatically fetches and imports news articles from the YoApy News platform(
news.yoapy.com) directly into your WordPress site as regular posts, complete with
featured images, tags, and source attribution.

**Features:**

 * Automatic news import at configurable intervals (5, 10, 15, 30 minutes, or hourly)
 * Featured image download and attachment
 * Hashtag-to-tag conversion
 * Source attribution in post content
 * Duplicate detection prevents re-importing the same article
 * Configurable post status (Published, Draft, or Pending Review)
 * Configurable default category and author
 * Manual import button for on-demand fetching
 * Activity log for monitoring import status
 * Clean, WordPress-native admin interface

**How It Works:**

 1. Create your API keys at [yoapy.com](https://yoapy.com)
 2. Enter your API Key and Secret in the plugin settings
 3. Configure your import preferences (post status, category, author)
 4. The plugin automatically checks for new articles at your chosen interval
 5. New articles are created as WordPress posts with featured images

### External Services

This plugin relies on the YoApy News API to function.

 * **Service:** YoApy News API
 * **URL:** [https://news.yoapy.com](https://news.yoapy.com)
 * **Purpose:** To authenticate your account and retrieve news articles generated
   for your account. The plugin periodically sends authenticated requests to fetch
   new articles.
 * **Data Sent:** On each request, the plugin sends your API Key ID, a timestamp,
   and an HMAC-SHA256 authentication hash (generated from the timestamp and your
   secret key). No personal user data from your WordPress site is sent.
 * **Data Received:** The plugin receives news article data including title, content,
   hashtags, source name, source URL, image URL, and publication date.
