I'm writing code for a newspaper app, and i'm almost done with the app,so I'm asking, is there a public online API for Nigerian newspapers that is auto updated with news articles without you having to do the updating yourself?

Try ATOM/RSS feeds. Most news website (all serious ones) have RSS at the littlest, virtually all CMSs support RSS. Simply adding rss to the end of most domains will give you access to their feeds (e.g http://sunnewsonline.com/feed/, http://punchng.com/feed/, lindaikejisblog.com/feeds/posts/default).

Some website's feeds are hierarchical, bigger news companies like CNN break their feeds further down to categories (e.g World
Africa,Americas,Asia,Europe,Middle East,U.S,Money,Technology.....)

On a personal level, I don't even visit most of my routine websites individually on a daily basis except I want to review comments on a particular topic (some websites even make comment feeds available) I just load them all up into some rss reader, hence more flexibility and less time hoping from one page to another. Lastly, there are many rss libraries out there and it is relatively simple to even build your own. I hope this helps.

Spoken my mind. I should also add that some orgs like the New York Times, have strict policies regarding use of their feeds , so read carefully. for the UK Guardian simply attach 'rss' to the URL of any index page and you have access to it, e.g to access the the feed for the technology section, the URL would be theguardian.com/uk/technology/rss

You could build an API back end that aggregates these feeds, and makes them available to your app. Many libraries exist for parsing RSS/Atom , and make the work easier.

Good

Just finished working on an api now for all popular newspapers, just trying to perfect it will be sharing the link soon

Check the thread for info on the api

just crawl those websites and download there content and parse it with python rest api

Too static, and if the web markup changes, it will mess up everything, an API is the best and simpliest option.
