API Reference
Use Crawlora's The Daily Beast API endpoints to extract supported public The Daily Beast data as structured JSON. This documentation covers 5 active endpoints including Get The Daily Beast article content, Get a The Daily Beast author profile, Get The Daily Beast section headlines, Get The Daily Beast 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.
