Configuring a custom API to dynamically fetch supplier news

By default, News Integration for Supplier Lifecycle Operations retrieves the supplier news and activities using the Microsoft Bing News Search API.

However, you have the flexibility to use any API of your choice to dynamically retrieve the supplier news and activities.

The process for configuring a custom news API includes the following tasks:

1. Create a REST message for a custom API.
2. Add and configure the Get News data resource in UI Builder.
3. Update the field names in the UX client script.
