New York Times API key
NY Times-Compose uses the Top Stories API from New York Times to load stories on home screen. To use the API, you will need to obtain a free developer API key. See the New York Times API Documentation for instructions.
Once you obtain the api key create a file apikey.properties in the root folder and add this line
