Managed execution
Every figure below is read from the live The Guardian endpoint catalog — 4 endpoints, 9 documented request parameters, and 4 published response schemas — the same catalog Docs and Playground run against.
4 documented The Guardian endpoints, grouped into 4 request families — Article, Headlines and Live, plus 1 more.
9 request parameters are documented across those The Guardian endpoints, 7 of them required — the full input contract is public before you write any integration code.
4 of the 4 The Guardian endpoints carry a documented response schema, so the JSON shape is known before you write any parsing code.
The Guardian endpoints document their error responses (400, 404, 429 and 503) alongside the success schema, so a block, a rate limit, or a missing record comes back as a typed error rather than silently empty data.
3 hosted MCP tools back the The Guardian endpoints, so an agent can call the same routes with the same parameters and the same JSON contract, with no custom glue.

These cards are generated from the active endpoint catalog, so the landing page reflects the same API surface used by Docs and Playground.

/guardian/topic
Endpoint catalog
/guardian/articleReturns a Guardian article's public metadata and body paragraphs from a canonical article URL. Live-blog timelines are not supported.
MCP tool guardian_article
/guardian/headlinesReturns fresh headlines from a public Guardian RSS section. section defaults to world.
MCP tool guardian_headlines
/guardian/liveReturns a bounded text snapshot of one public Guardian live blog: the headline, the key-events timeline, and the update blocks with timestamps, headings, bylines, and body paragraphs. This is a single page fetch of the public page at a canonical live-blog URL — not a live stream or polling feed. URLs must use the dated www.theguardian.com section /live/ path, e.g. https://www.theguardian.com/sport/live/2026/aug/08/<slug>/.
Response notes
Returns a bounded text snapshot of the public live-blog page: the headline, the key-events timeline, and the update blocks (newest first) with ISO timestamps, headings, bylines, and body paragraphs. This is a single page fetch of the public page — not a live stream, polling feed, or media source. A missing or non-live URL returns `404`. ```json { "code": 200, "msg": "OK", "data": { "url": "https://www.theguardian.com/sport/live/2026/aug/08/japan-vs-australia-live-updates-wallabies-nations-championship-rugby-union", "title": "Japan 32-35 Australia: rugby union international – as it happened", "last_updated": "2026-08-08T13:50:41.000Z", "key_events": [ { "published_at": "2026-08-08T13:50:41.000Z", "title": "Match report" } ], "blocks": [ { "id": "block-6a7734228f0851f2bc6ee275", "published_at": "2026-08-08T13:50:41.000Z", "title": "Match report", "author": "Angus Fontaine", "paragraphs": [ "There was good, bad and plenty of ugly but the Les Kiss era is off to a winning start." ] } ] } } ```
