How can I request the first 100 titles in NewsAPI instead of first one?

Question

Here, the code returns the first article's title according to the search information

import requests

r = requests.get("https://newsapi.org/v2/everything?qInTitle=bangladesh&from=2023-07-17&to=2023-08-16&sortBy=popularity&language=en&apiKey=45c28deca60947fd9ec4d8db2b2c4a81")
content = r.json()

print(content['articles'][0]['title'])

How can I make it so that it returns the first 100 or something similar?

I've tried to remove the [0] and putting [0:100] instead but it didn't work; I am new to coding I apologize.

You can do like this:

import requests

r = requests.get("https://newsapi.org/v2/everything?qInTitle=bangladesh&from=2023-07-17&to=2023-08-16&sortBy=popularity&language=en&apiKey=45c28deca60947fd9ec4d8db2b2c4a81")
content = r.json()

for row in content['articles'][:100]:
  print(row['title'])

You can use the for loop to iterate the first 100 elements (or rather "news"):

import requests

r = requests.get("https://newsapi.org/v2/everything?qInTitle=bangladesh&from=2023-07-17&to=2023-08-16&sortBy=popularity&language=en&apiKey=45c28deca60947fd9ec4d8db2b2c4a81")
content = r.json()

articles = content['articles']

for index in range(0, 99):
    print(articles[index]['title'])

I've put 99 because the array indexes is starting from 0 but not 1 and 100 - 1 is 99.

For each iteration, the print function will output the title of article with the index.

In order to acquire (up to) 100 titles then:

import requests

URL = 'https://newsapi.org/v2/everything'
PARAMS = {
    'qInTitle': 'bangladesh',
    'from': '2023-07-17',
    'to': '2023-08-16',
    'sortBy': 'popularity',
    'language': 'en',
    'apiKey': '45c28deca60947fd9ec4d8db2b2c4a81'
}
MAX = 100

with requests.get(URL, params=PARAMS) as response:
    response.raise_for_status()
    if (content := response.json()).get('status') == 'ok':
        for article in content.get('articles', [])[:MAX]:
            print(article.get('title'))

Output (partial):

How can I request the first 100 titles in NewsAPI instead of first one?
