API Reference
Use Crawlora's Phys.org API endpoints to extract supported public Phys.org data as structured JSON. This documentation covers 4 active endpoints including Get a Phys.org article, Get Phys.org section headlines, Get Phys.org top stories, List Phys.org RSS sections. 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/physorg/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.
