News Scraper API
Media monitoring breaks when every publisher uses a different layout. Our news scraper API standardizes scraping news articles – headline, byline, date, and body text arrive as fields, not markup.

What is news scraper API?
What does a news scraper API return that an RSS feed does not? The article itself, read from the public page rather than a summary. Scraping news articles across a long publisher list means selector drift is the real maintenance cost, since every publisher runs its own template. Per article:
- Headline, subheading, and byline
- Publish and update timestamps
- Section, tags, and category
- Body text with paragraph structure
- Canonical URL and image captions
Body text is where the legal line sits, so most pipelines analyze it internally and publish only the headline, link, and timestamp.

Collect news data
Filling a monitoring index or a training corpus takes volume, and the Web Scraping API supplies it from a single endpoint.
From request to storage:
1. Send one URL or a batch of article links
2. Render pages that load text through scripts
3. Route through 125M+ proxies spanning residential, mobile, ISP, and datacenter types
4. Take HTML or parsed JSON back
5. Pick from 195+ geo-locations for regional editions
6. Schedule recurring pulls per publisher

Dead links and empty responses cost nothing. Charges apply per article that returns actual content.
Advanced anti-bot bypass
Publisher defenses run from none to strict. Request signatures, header rotation, and TLS handling cover the strict end.
Real-time or on-demand results
Poll a breaking story every few minutes, or queue an overnight pass across yesterday's archive.
125M+ proxy pool
Editions differ between countries. Choose residential, mobile, ISP, or datacenter routes among 195+ locations to capture the version local readers get.
JavaScript rendering
Many outlets load body copy and embeds after first paint. We wait for the render, then return the complete text.
Easy integration
Feed the endpoint a URL list and read results in Python, Node.js, or cURL. Sample scripts ship with the docs.

How to Scrape Hidden APIs (With a Worked Example)
A hidden API is an undocumented endpoint that a website's frontend calls in the background, usually through XHR, Fetch, or GraphQL, to load data as JSON. Scraping hidden APIs means calling that endpoint directly instead of parsing the rendered HTML. Many modern websites load the page first, then fetch the actual data this way, so the clean JSON you need is often just one request away. In this guide, you'll learn how to find these hidden APIs and use them to collect structured data faster, without a headless browser.

Frequently asked questions
Is it legal to scrape news?
Headlines, metadata, and publish dates from public articles can normally be collected. Republishing full text is a different question, because article bodies are copyrighted. Most teams keep text for internal analysis, then surface short quotes with attribution. Check each publisher's Terms of Service, and treat author details as personal data.
How does the news scraper API bypass blocks and CAPTCHAs?
News sites span the whole defense spectrum. Every call picks an egress IP, applies a matching request signature, reorders headers, and negotiates TLS properly, with CAPTCHAs resolved in flight. For aggregator listings rather than article pages, reach for the Google News Scraper API.
What output formats does the news scraper API support?
Expect HTML first, and JSON where parsing covers the result format. CSV comes out of the dashboard. Large monitoring jobs tend to stream JSON into a search index. Our guide to scraping Google News results walks through one working pipeline.
Can I geo-target news requests to a specific country or city?
Yes. There are 195+ locations to target, with city-level and ZIP-level choices in parts of the network. Publishers often serve different editions, consent screens, or paywall prompts by country, and matching the origin keeps a corpus coherent.
How fast is the news scraper API and can it handle large-scale jobs?
Article volume is the constraint, not latency; concurrency follows the plan you pick. Responses land in seconds and thousands of URLs move together. Schedule per-publisher jobs, or trigger a pull when a feed updates.
Can I try the news scraper API for free?
Yes. News scraping falls inside the Web Scraping API starter plan, which opens without payment details. Point the quota at the publishers you actually monitor, since layout coverage varies between outlets far more than plan limits do.
