Managed execution
Each Crawlora platform API is designed around a specific data surface. Instead of exposing a generic fetch endpoint, Crawlora combines endpoint-specific request logic, managed infrastructure, parsing, normalization, billing, and Playground-tested examples.
Request behavior is tuned for the target platform and endpoint type.
Supported endpoints can use managed proxy routing to improve reliability and reduce infrastructure work.
Dynamic pages can be routed through managed browser instances where JavaScript rendering is required.
Challenge pages and unusable upstream responses are detected and surfaced clearly.
Results are returned as documented JSON instead of raw HTML.
Test the same route from Docs and Playground before production integration.
Coverage map
These cards are generated from the active endpoint catalog, so the landing page reflects the same API surface used by Docs and Playground.

How to scrape Yahoo News
Yahoo News has no public developer API, but its homepage, section pages, and articles are credential-free public pages. Crawlora's 6 Yahoo News endpoints return the homepage and section story streams, full article content, search suggestions, and article comments (with replies) as normalized JSON.
The homepage endpoint returns the "need to know" story stream; the category endpoint returns a section's stream (us, world, politics, science, weather-news, or the cross-vertical originals collection) — each story includes its title, destination URL, summary, source, publish time, comment count, and thumbnail images.
Pass a story's URL from either stream to the article endpoint to get its headline, description, author, publish/update time, section, image, keywords, original publisher, and full body paragraphs.
Pass an article's content id to the comments endpoint for a page of top-level comments (author, body, reaction counts, reply count, pin status), and comments/replies to expand any one comment's replies.
Send a partial query to /yahoo-news/suggest to get Yahoo News's own search-box suggestions.

Yes — /yahoo-news/comments returns a page of an article's top-level comments with reactions, and /yahoo-news/comments/replies expands any comment's replies, both with cursor-based pagination.
