The Age API Documentation

Use Crawlora's The Age API endpoints to extract supported public The Age data as structured JSON. This documentation covers 5 active endpoints including Get The Age article content, Get an Age journalist profile, Get The Age section headlines, Get The Age 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.

The Age API endpoints

These endpoint cards are generated from the active Crawlora endpoint catalog, including method, path, auth mode, credit cost, parameter summary, docs, and Playground links.

GET/theage/articleapiKey2 credits/request

Get The Age article content

Returns one The Age article's public metadata and the body paragraphs an anonymous visitor's page request is served, from a canonical article URL. The Age runs a metered subscription paywall; the response reports it with is_accessible_for_free (the page's own declaration), paywalled (the page marks the story as subscriber content), and is_truncated (the page served a shortened preview, or no body at all, instead of the full story). Paywalls are never bypassed and body text is never fabricated. Video-only pages are rejected with a 400.
