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

Endpoint catalog
/globalnews/headlinesReturns recent Global News headlines for one section. `section` is required and takes a slug such as `canada`, `world`, `money`, `us-news`, `the-curator` or a local-station slug like `toronto` or `calgary`. Each item has its title and URL, plus summary, author, publication time and image when the outlet provides them.
MCP tool globalnews_headlines
/globalnews/newsReturns the latest top stories from Global News (globalnews.ca), with no parameters. Each item has its title and URL, plus summary, author, publication time and image when the outlet provides them, so it works as a quick check on what the outlet is leading with.
MCP tool globalnews_news
/globalnews/sectionsReturns the public Global News RSS section inventory used by the headlines endpoint, covering topical sections and every regional/city hub with its own feed.
MCP tool globalnews_sections
/globalnews/articleReturns one Global News article by `url`, a canonical `globalnews.ca` link of the form `/news/<id>/<slug>/` or `/the-curator/<id>/<slug>/`. The response has the title, description, section, authors, lead image, publish and update times, the body as `paragraphs`, and a `paywalled` flag.
MCP tool globalnews_article
/globalnews/authorReturns a Global News author profile by `url`, a canonical `https://globalnews.ca/author/<slug>/` link. The response has the author's `name`, `biography`, `image_url` and a list of recent articles. `title`, `image_url` and `biography` appear only if the author page shows them, and each article's `published_at` is relative text such as `2 hours` or `Sep 16`, not a timestamp.

How to scrape Global News
Global News describes its reporting as a network of 21 local newsrooms paired with national coverage and stories about Canada and abroad. Start with the matching local edition for a municipal or provincial issue, then compare national coverage for wider context. The local report and national rewrite may describe the same event, so preserve the newsroom, geography, byline, publication time, and canonical URL rather than counting them as separate events. For weather or public safety, collect dated snapshots because article details can change after the first headline.
Use headlines for the latest public Global News reports.
Use sections and news to keep station, city, or national framing where supplied.
Use article and author endpoints for public story details and attribution.
FAQ
Yes. Its Canadian network structure combines national coverage with local newsroom reporting; retain the source section or edition in your data.
The 5-endpoint integration returns the public data documented for each Global News route. Article, headline, news, and section feeds vary by publisher; an author-related route is also listed, and its behavior is platform-specific.
