Web app and APIs that fetch Press Information Bureau (PIB) press releases for a given date, parse article HTML, and produce short text summaries. The repo includes a Vue frontend and two backend implementations (Node/TypeScript and Python/FastAPI) that share the same data source and caching idea.

• frontend/ — Vue 3 + Vite + TypeScript UI. See frontend/package.json for scripts.
• backend/ — Express 5 + TypeScript API. See backend/README.md.
• backend_python/ — FastAPI + httpx API. See backend_python/README.md.

The root package.json is minimal; install dependencies inside frontend/ and backend/ as documented below.

• Node.js (LTS recommended) and npm — for the frontend and Node backend.
• Python 3.10+ — for the FastAPI backend only.

cd frontend
npm install
npm run dev

Vite serves the app (default URL is usually http://localhost:5173). Build for production with npm run build and preview with npm run preview.

cd backend
npm install
npm run dev

The server listens on port 3000 (http://localhost:3000).

cd backend_python
python -m venv .venv
# Windows: .venv\Scripts\activate
# macOS/Linux: source .venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt
uvicorn main:app --reload

By default Uvicorn serves at http://127.0.0.1:8000.

The frontend calls http://localhost:3000/api/pib (see frontend/src/App.vue). To use the Python service instead, point the client at the FastAPI base URL and adjust the path/query to match /articles, or add a proxy in Vite.

Both backends cache responses for past dates as JSON files under each backend’s cache/ directory. Today’s date is not written to cache so listings stay fresh.
