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

Endpoint catalog
/billboard/headlinesReturns the 10 most recent items from one Billboard section. `section` is required and takes a slug such as `chart-beat`, `country`, `rb-hip-hop`, `streaming` or `touring`. Parent sections such as `music` and `business` overlap with their subsections, so one item can appear under several. Items carry title, URL, summary, author and time.
MCP tool billboard_headlines
/billboard/newsReturns the latest Billboard stories, with no input needed. Each item has a title and canonical URL, plus a publication time, summary and image when Billboard provides them.
MCP tool billboard_news
/billboard/sectionsReturns the public Billboard section inventory: every music, business, culture, media and Spanish-language category plus Billboard Pro, each linking to its public RSS feed.
MCP tool billboard_sections
/billboard/articleReturns public Billboard article metadata and body paragraphs from a canonical article URL. Billboard Pro articles are returned in full when the public page serves the full body; a teaser-only page is flagged paywalled.
MCP tool billboard_article
/billboard/authorReturns a Billboard author's byline metadata, biography, and recent articles (sourced from the author's own public RSS feed) from a canonical author URL.
MCP tool billboard_author

How to scrape Billboard
Billboard is most useful when music reporting is kept with its chart and genre context rather than treated as a generic entertainment feed. Chart Beat, concerts, awards, and genre sections serve different music-research questions. An artist's chart milestone should keep its chart context, while a tour announcement belongs with concert coverage and a ceremony result with awards. The 2026-09-26 music feed included SZA's New Jersey Hall of Fame induction, a useful example of artist news that is not itself a chart movement. Store the story URL and publish time beside the genre or editorial section before joining it to external chart data.
Use sections to locate chart, awards, concerts, or a genre-specific feed.
Query headlines or news for a structured set of public music stories.
Use article and author routes when you need the full public item and attribution.
FAQ
Yes. The section catalog includes Chart Beat, making it possible to separate chart reporting from awards, concerts, and genre news.
The 5-endpoint integration returns the public data documented for each Billboard route. Article, headline, news, and section feeds vary by publisher; an author-related route is also listed, and its behavior is platform-specific.
