API Reference
Use Crawlora's ABC News API endpoints to extract supported public ABC News data as structured JSON. This documentation covers 5 active endpoints including Get ABC News article content, Get an ABC News author profile, Get ABC News section headlines, Get ABC News top stories, and related APIs. Developers can use these endpoints for monitoring, enrichment, research dashboards, internal data pipelines, and agent-native workflows without maintaining platform-specific scraping code. Each endpoint page documents authentication, request parameters such as url, section, cURL examples, response examples, response schemas, errors, credit cost, and Playground testing. Send requests to the Crawlora API with an x-api-key header, review usage and plan limits on pricing, and test safe sample requests in Playground before moving the workflow into production.
Choose an endpoint, send an authenticated request with the x-api-key header, and inspect the normalized JSON response. The examples below use the public Crawlora API base URL and the same endpoint catalog used by Playground.
curl -X GET "https://api.crawlora.net/api/v1/abcnews/article" \
-H "x-api-key: $CRAWLORA_API_KEY"These endpoint cards are generated from the active Crawlora endpoint catalog, including method, path, auth mode, credit cost, parameter summary, docs, and Playground links.
/abcnews/articleapiKey2 credits/requestReturns public ABC News article metadata and body paragraphs from a canonical article URL. Accepts both the "story?id=..." and "wireStory/..." canonical URL shapes.
Required params: url:query
/abcnews/authorapiKey2 credits/requestReturns an ABC News author's profile: name, job title/biography when the page carries one, and social links, from a canonical author URL. Does NOT include a list of the author's recent articles -- unlike this repo's other news-author endpoints, ABC News only exposes that list through an internal endpoint disallowed for every crawler in abcnews.com's robots.txt (a generic "Disallow: /proxy/*" rule, not limited to AI-training bots), so it is out of scope for this endpoint.
Required params: url:query
/abcnews/headlinesapiKey1 credit/requestReturns fresh headlines from one ABC News section's public hub page.
Required params: section:query
/abcnews/newsapiKey1 credit/requestReturns fresh ABC News top stories from its public news sitemap feed.
Required params: None
/abcnews/sectionsapiKey1 credit/requestReturns the ABC News section inventory: the 8 core news sections accepted by abcnews-headlines.
Required params: None
