Managed execution
Every figure below is read from the live ABC News Australia endpoint catalog — 5 endpoints, 8 documented request parameters, and 5 published response schemas — the same catalog Docs and Playground run against.
5 documented ABC News Australia endpoints, grouped into 5 request families — Article, Author and Headlines, plus 2 more.
8 request parameters are documented across those ABC News Australia endpoints, 8 of them required — the full input contract is public before you write any integration code.
5 of the 5 ABC News Australia endpoints ship a recorded example response, and 5 carry a documented response schema — you can code against the real JSON before the first request.
ABC News Australia 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.
5 hosted MCP tools back the ABC News Australia endpoints, so an agent can call the same routes with the same parameters and the same JSON contract, with no custom glue.

How to scrape ABC News Australia
ABC News has a broad national and regional reporting footprint. Its public routes let you retain the section context that distinguishes rural, Indigenous, environment, and general-news stories. The Just In feed mixes domestic and international stories, so use Rural, Indigenous, Environment, or the relevant regional section when the question is narrower. Its 2026-09-26 headlines included NRLW finals and a Strait of Hormuz proposal, illustrating why a general feed alone does not identify the Australian policy stories a researcher may need. Retain each article's section and publication date, then compare a regional report with a later national follow-up before treating them as independent events.
Use headlines with a section such as justin, rural, indigenous, or environment.
Use news for a dated set of public stories in the chosen editorial area.
Fetch an article and, when present, its author page to keep attribution intact.
FAQ
Yes. The sections endpoint exposes specific verticals such as ABC Rural and Indigenous alongside politics, business, science, and national news.
The 5-endpoint integration returns the public data documented for each ABC News Australia route. Article, headline, news, and section feeds vary by publisher; an author-related route is also listed, and its behavior is platform-specific.
