This class can get the news from around the world with MediaStack.

It can send HTTP requests to the MediaStack API to get the last news about a given topic.

The class can take parameters that can restrict the scope of the news that you want to receive like for instance the country that is related with the news that happened, the topic categories of the news stories that are returned, or the limit number of news stories that is returned.
