Managed execution
Every figure below is read from the live Al Jazeera endpoint catalog — 5 endpoints, 10 documented request parameters, and 5 published response schemas — the same catalog Docs and Playground run against.
5 documented Al Jazeera endpoints, grouped into 5 request families — Article, Author and Categories, plus 2 more.
10 request parameters are documented across those Al Jazeera endpoints, 7 of them required — the full input contract is public before you write any integration code.
1 of the 5 Al Jazeera endpoints ship a recorded example response, and 5 carry a documented response schema — you can code against the real JSON before the first request.
Al Jazeera 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 Al Jazeera 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 Al Jazeera
Al Jazeera is Qatar's state broadcaster, funded through Qatar Media Corporation and chaired by a member of the ruling Al Thani family — worth knowing before treating its output as independent wire copy. Its section navigation isn't a flat slug list: a 2026-09-24 pull of /aljazeera/categories returned 23 entries, and several — tag/explainer, tag/human-rights, audio/podcasts — are nested paths rather than single words, passed to /aljazeera/topic exactly as returned. Crawlora's five endpoints turn that navigation, the site feed, per-section archives, articles, and author pages into normalized JSON.
Call /aljazeera/categories for the current 23-entry navigation. Most slugs are single words like economy or sports, but some are nested paths — tag/explainer, tag/human-rights, audio/podcasts — that /aljazeera/topic expects verbatim, prefix included.
Call /aljazeera/headlines for the newest stories across every desk. A 2026-09-24 pull returned 22 items published within a single five-hour window, each tagged with its own section field — News, Sport, Opinions, News Analysis.
Pass a slug from /aljazeera/categories to /aljazeera/topic. middle-east returned 7 stories on 2026-09-24, and not every item carries a summary field — one entry on the Iran-war liveblog had a title only.
Pass a canonical aljazeera.com article URL to /aljazeera/article for its metadata and body. A 2026-09-24 story on Israel's election committee barring Arab party lists was published at 02:06 UTC and revised at 03:13 UTC the same morning.
Pass a canonical aljazeera.com/author/<name>_<id> URL, or its slug, to /aljazeera/author for a correspondent's bio and recent bylines. Article authors return as plain names, not links, so the URL has to be found separately — a pull for correspondent Zeina Khodr returned an archive reaching back to 2020.
FAQ
Call /aljazeera/categories. A 2026-09-24 pull returned 23 entries, and some — like tag/human-rights and audio/podcasts — are nested paths rather than plain words; pass them to /aljazeera/topic exactly as listed.
No. A 2026-09-24 pull of the middle-east topic returned one liveblog entry with a title and image but no summary field at all — treat summary as optional, not guaranteed.
/aljazeera/headlines follows the site-wide feed across every desk and tags each story with its section; /aljazeera/topic reads one section's own archive page, for scoping coverage to, say, middle-east or economy alone.
Al Jazeera is owned and funded by the Qatari government through Qatar Media Corporation, a matter of public record these endpoints don't change. They read the same public English-language site anyone can browse — no login or subscriber session required.
