The Atlantic API Documentation

Use Crawlora's The Atlantic API endpoints to extract supported public The Atlantic data as structured JSON. This documentation covers 4 active endpoints including Get an Atlantic article's content, Get an Atlantic staff author profile, Get the latest stories in an Atlantic section, List The Atlantic 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.

Auth header: x-api-key: $CRAWLORA_API_KEY
Primary endpoint: GET /theatlantic/article

The Atlantic 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/theatlantic/articleapiKey2 credits/request

Get an Atlantic article's content

Returns one public Atlantic article's metadata and body paragraphs from a canonical article URL. `metered` reflects the site's own soft-paywall flag for that article; the body returned here is the same one the site's own page serves to an anonymous visitor and is never truncated because of it. An article whose page genuinely withholds its body is reported as a restricted-access error instead of a hollow response.
