Managed execution
Every figure below is read from the live AP News endpoint catalog — 6 endpoints, 9 documented request parameters, and 6 published response schemas — the same catalog Docs and Playground run against.
6 documented AP News endpoints, grouped into 6 request families — Article, Author and Fact Check, plus 3 more.
9 request parameters are documented across those AP News endpoints, 9 of them required — the full input contract is public before you write any integration code.
6 of the 6 AP News endpoints ship a recorded example response, and 6 carry a documented response schema — you can code against the real JSON before the first request.
AP News 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.
6 hosted MCP tools back the AP News endpoints, so an agent can call the same routes with the same parameters and the same JSON contract, with no custom glue.

Endpoint catalog
/apnews/articleReturns public AP News article metadata and body paragraphs.

Billing is 2 credits for an HTTP-profile success and 10 credits when browser rendering is required.
MCP tool apnews_article
/apnews/authorReturns an AP News author's byline metadata, biography, and recent articles from a canonical author URL. The service uses the configured production browser fleet when ordinary HTTP transport encounters AP's edge challenge; it does not bypass authentication or access controls. Billing is 1 credit for an HTTP-profile success and 5 credits when browser rendering is required.
MCP tool apnews_author
/apnews/fact-checkReturns current headlines from AP News' public Fact Check page.

How to scrape AP News
AP News organizes its site into eleven topic hubs plus a standalone Fact Check page, and its top-news feed carries English and Spanish-language wire copy side by side — a 2026-09-24 pull of /apnews/news mixed ordinary English headlines with Spanish ones like “El gobierno de Trump dice al Congreso admitirá a 17.500 refugiados.” /apnews/fact-check returned just four checks that same day. Crawlora's six endpoints read the hubs, the fact-check page, articles, and author pages, retrying through a browser fleet when AP's edge challenge blocks a plain request.
Call /apnews/sections for the eleven supported hub slugs — ap-top-news, us-news, world-news, politics, business, technology, science, health, sports, entertainment, and lifestyle.
Call /apnews/news for AP's Top News hub. A 2026-09-24 pull mixed English stories with Spanish-language wire items in the same list, without a language field to split on.
Pass a slug from /apnews/sections to /apnews/headlines for that hub's current stories.
Call /apnews/fact-check for AP's standalone Fact Check landing page — not one of the eleven /apnews/sections slugs. It returned exactly four checks on 2026-09-24, far fewer items than a typical hub.
Pass a canonical apnews.com/article/... URL to /apnews/article for its title and body paragraphs, plus published_at and updated_at in UTC.
Pass a canonical apnews.com/author/<slug> URL to /apnews/author for that byline's biography and recent articles. AP renders the name field fully capitalized, e.g. “SOPHIE BATES,” rather than in normal case.
FAQ
Yes. A 2026-09-24 pull of /apnews/news included Spanish headlines, such as one on U.S. refugee admissions, sitting right alongside English ones. There's no language flag, so detect language yourself if you only want one.
No. /apnews/fact-check reads a standalone AP landing page, separate from the eleven hub slugs /apnews/sections lists — it returned just four checks on 2026-09-24, a much shorter list than a hub pull.
Byline metadata plus recent articles — but the name field comes back exactly as AP's own page renders it, fully capitalized (e.g. “SOPHIE BATES” rather than “Sophie Bates”), so normalize casing yourself if your UI needs it.
AP's edge sometimes challenges a plain HTTP request. Crawlora tries a shared HTTP profile first and only falls back to a browser render when that challenge blocks it, so a request needing the browser fleet costs more credits than one an HTTP profile resolves alone.
No. AP is a member-owned, not-for-profit news cooperative, and its hub pages, fact-check page, and article and author templates are public wire content — Crawlora reads them exactly as published.
