Managed execution
Every figure below is read from the live The Globe and Mail endpoint catalog — 5 endpoints, 8 documented request parameters, and 5 published response schemas — the same catalog Docs and Playground run against.
5 documented The Globe and Mail endpoints, grouped into 5 request families — Article, Author and Headlines, plus 2 more.
8 request parameters are documented across those The Globe and Mail endpoints, 8 of them required — the full input contract is public before you write any integration code.
3 of the 5 The Globe and Mail endpoints ship a recorded example response, and 5 carry a documented response schema — you can code against the real JSON before the first request.
The Globe and Mail endpoints document their error responses (400, 403, 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 The Globe and Mail endpoints, so an agent can call the same routes with the same parameters and the same JSON contract, with no custom glue.

Endpoint catalog
/globeandmail/articleReturns one public Globe and Mail article's metadata and full body paragraphs from a canonical article URL. The Globe and Mail runs a metered paywall on most staff-bylined stories; those return a 403 permission error rather than a truncated or fabricated body -- see the endpoint markdown for the exact detection method.
MCP tool globeandmail_article
/globeandmail/authorReturns one Globe and Mail reporter's public profile: name, job title, location, biography, headshot, contact/social links, and their recent articles from a canonical author URL.
MCP tool globeandmail_author
/globeandmail/headlinesReturns the current public feed for one Globe and Mail section: each story's title, canonical URL, summary, author, publication time, and lead image. Section must be one of the slugs returned by /globeandmail/sections: `canada`, `world`, `business`, `investing`, `personal-finance`, `politics`, `opinion`, `culture`, `sports`, `life`, `real-estate`, `drive`.
MCP tool globeandmail_headlines
/globeandmail/newsReturns The Globe and Mail's current public top-stories feed: each story's title, canonical URL, summary, author, publication time, and lead image.
MCP tool globeandmail_news
/globeandmail/sectionsLists every Globe and Mail section accepted by /globeandmail/headlines, with its slug, display name, and landing-page URL. This is the full public, RSS-backed section taxonomy from the site's primary navigation.

How to scrape The Globe and Mail
Crawlora's Globe and Mail endpoints read theglobeandmail.com and return JSON for section headlines, reporter profiles, and article metadata across 12 sections: Canada, World, Business, Investing, Personal Finance, Politics, Opinion, Culture, Sports, Life, Real Estate, and Drive. The Globe and Mail paywalls most of its reporting — three different Drive reviews and explainers pulled from the September 23 feed each returned a clean 'requires a subscription' response rather than a truncated or fabricated body, so a scraper can detect gated content directly instead of parsing for a paywall banner.
/globeandmail/headlines accepts canada, world, business, investing, personal-finance, politics, opinion, culture, sports, life, real-estate, or drive and returns each item's title, URL, summary, author, publication time, and lead image — the Drive feed alone carried 14 bylined reviews and explainers from Mark Richardson, Petrina Gentile, and five other regular contributors over a two-week span.
/globeandmail/news returns the current front-page mix across all sections with the same title/summary/author/image shape as a section feed.
/globeandmail/article takes a canonical article URL and returns the full body for free content; for subscriber-only stories it returns an explicit permission error instead of a partial or fabricated body, so your code can branch on that response rather than parsing page markup for a paywall.
/globeandmail/author takes a canonical reporter URL and returns name, job title, location, biography, headshot, contact and social links, and recent articles.
FAQ
The endpoint returns an explicit error stating the article requires a subscription — it never returns a truncated or guessed body, so you can reliably detect gated content and skip it or flag it for review.
