Managed execution
Every figure below is read from the live Chicago Tribune endpoint catalog — 5 endpoints, 9 documented request parameters, and 5 published response schemas — the same catalog Docs and Playground run against.
5 documented Chicago Tribune endpoints, grouped into 5 request families — Article, Author and Headlines, plus 2 more.
9 request parameters are documented across those Chicago Tribune endpoints, 7 of them required — the full input contract is public before you write any integration code.
5 of the 5 Chicago Tribune endpoints ship a recorded example response, and 5 carry a documented response schema — you can code against the real JSON before the first request.
Chicago Tribune endpoints document their error responses (400, 404 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 Chicago Tribune 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 Chicago Tribune
The Tribune's public local-news taxonomy makes Chicago-specific research more precise than a single generic city feed. Local News, Crime and Public Safety, Investigations, Immigration, Education, Environment, History, and Marijuana are separate public sections. Select the civic beat that matches the question before collecting full articles; a long-running investigation should not be counted as an ordinary breaking incident. Keep the Chicago-area location, headline, publication date, and canonical URL on each record. When a story crosses beats, retain its source section so the original editorial placement remains visible to later reviewers.
Browse local news, crime and public safety, politics, investigations, education, or environment.
