How to use Axios endpoints

Axios organizes coverage into eight top-level topics — Politics & Policy, Technology, Economy, Business, Health, World, Energy & Climate, and Science, plus a topicless Sports feed — each with several subtopics; Politics & Policy alone splits into six, from Epstein files to Donald Trump. A 2026-09-24 pull of the Donald Trump subtopic returned ten stories, every one flagged is_paywalled:false. Crawlora's three Axios endpoints turn that topic tree, one topic's headlines, and full article bodies into normalized JSON.

Step 1
Use Axios's eight topics and 39 subtopics
/axios/categories returns Axios's eight top-level topics and their subtopics as nested paths — 39 subtopics in total on 2026-09-24, each usable directly as the topic parameter, e.g. politics-policy/donald-trump.
Step 2
Read a topic
Passing politics-policy/donald-trump to /axios/headlines returned ten stories from roughly the prior 24 hours, each already carrying an is_paywalled flag so you know before opening whether full text will be available.
Step 3
Read word count, tags and paywall status
/axios/article returned a wordcount of 811, a tags array, a topics array, and is_paywalled:false for a same-day scoop on Anthropic and the White House; its updated_at field carries microsecond precision while published_at does not.
Step 4
Check paywall status before parsing
Every headline and article record carries Axios's own is_paywalled flag. A false article, like the 811-word 2026-09-24 Trump-Anthropic scoop, returns full paragraphs; a metered one returns only the shorter public preview Axios itself exposes.
