Running it locally
You can change the host in api.py and change the address in visualize.js.
For example, api.py by default will run on 0.0.0.0 on port 5000. Changing
var endpoint = "https://news-visual.herokuapp.com/?topic=" + topic;
to
var endpoint = "http://0.0.0.0:5000/?topic=" + topic;
accesses the local api.
NOTE: Make sure to change to http:// instead of https://
