We are happy to announce the release of the Business News Data Source 2.4.0. This release includes the following updates:

- Updated to the latest Grafana 9.4.7 toolkit and workflows.
The plugin was updated in the Grafana Plugins catalog on April 14, 2023.
URL parameters
URL parameters allow reusing the data source for news feeds with the same URL.
For example, a data source can be set to YouTube. You can display specific or multiple news feeds using a dashboard variable.
Getting Started
The Business News data source can be installed from the Grafana Catalog or utilizing the Grafana command line tool.
For the latter, please use the following command.
grafana cli plugins install volkovlabs-rss-datasource
Tutorial
This is a very detailed tutorial in which Daria explains what RSS and Atom format is and how to find appropriate links for further usage. She then demonstrates how to install and configure the Business News data source on your Grafana dashboard. She touches upon Grafana's transformations to show little data transformation tricks.
The tutorial was created two years ago, and since then, we significantly improved the Business News data source. The new video is on our road map.
