Managed execution
Every figure below is read from the live CBS News endpoint catalog — 5 endpoints, 8 documented request parameters, and 5 published response schemas — the same catalog Docs and Playground run against.
5 documented CBS News endpoints, grouped into 5 request families — Article, Author and Headlines, plus 2 more.
8 request parameters are documented across those CBS News endpoints, 8 of them required — the full input contract is public before you write any integration code.
5 of the 5 CBS News endpoints ship a recorded example response, and 5 carry a documented response schema — you can code against the real JSON before the first request.
CBS 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.
5 hosted MCP tools back the CBS News 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 CBS News
Crawlora's CBS News endpoints read cbsnews.com and return JSON for articles, section headlines, and authors. CBS News exposes 10 sections, each backed by a cbsnews.com/latest/rss/<slug> feed — main, us, world, politics, moneywatch, health, entertainment, science, technology, space. The technology feed isn't trimmed to a short recency window: a 2026-09-23 pull returned 20 items spanning back to 2026-06-24. CBS News timestamps carry an explicit UTC offset (e.g. -0400) rather than a Z suffix, and a story's headline on /cbsnews/headlines can differ slightly from its canonical title on /cbsnews/article — CBS revises display titles after a story ships.
/cbsnews/sections returns 10 sections — main (top stories), us, world, politics, moneywatch, health, entertainment, science, technology, space — each backed by its own cbsnews.com/latest/rss/<slug> feed.
/cbsnews/headlines takes a section slug and returns title, url, summary, and published_at. The technology feed isn't recency-capped — a 2026-09-23 pull still returned an item dated back to 2026-06-24 alongside same-day stories.
/cbsnews/article returns authors, description, image_url, a paragraphs array, section, published_at, and updated_at — timestamps use an explicit offset like -0400 rather than a Z suffix. The article's title can differ slightly from the headline shown on /cbsnews/headlines for the same story, since CBS sometimes tweaks the display title after publishing.
/cbsnews/author takes a canonical cbsnews.com/team/<slug> URL (not /author/) and returns that journalist's profile and recent bylines.
FAQ
Yes — /cbsnews/sections returns each section's canonical cbsnews.com/latest/rss/<slug> URL, and Crawlora parses that feed into structured JSON for you.
CBS's technology RSS feed isn't strictly capped to the most recent few days — older evergreen or recently-boosted stories can still appear alongside same-day news.
published_at and updated_at use an explicit UTC offset, e.g. 2026-09-22T18:02:00-0400, rather than the Z-suffixed UTC format some other outlets in this catalog return.
CBS News is the news division of Paramount Skydance Corporation, formed when Paramount Global and Skydance Media merged in August 2025; Paramount Skydance is now completing its acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery.
