Are you sure you installed it for the same version of Python as the one you are using to run your code? Each version of Python has its own set of installed packages; see this help page for the details.

newsapi seems to work only till python 3.7. I recently upgraded to python 3.8 and got error 'cannot import name 'NewsApiClient' from 'newsapi' . I came here looking to see if anyone had figured out how to use newapi with python 3.8.

According to the PyPI page of the project, it supports Python versions up to Python 3.7, it looks like the package hasn't been maintained since Dec 2019.
