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

Endpoint catalog

MCP tool hindustantimes_sections
/hindustantimes/newsReturns Hindustan Times' current top stories from its Latest News listing, with no parameters. Each item has its title, URL, summary, author, publication time and image where available.
MCP tool hindustantimes_news
/hindustantimes/headlinesReturns current Hindustan Times headlines for one section. `section` is required and takes one of 24 slugs such as `india-news`, `world-news`, `cricket`, `business`, `htcity` or `editorials`. Each item has its title, URL, summary, author, publication time and image where the site provides them.
MCP tool hindustantimes_headlines

How to scrape Hindustan Times
Hindustan Times spans India News, cities, cricket, education, technology, HT City, explainers, and other consumer verticals. Use the section inventory before targeting a reporting beat. For city reporting, retain the publisher’s city-specific section slug alongside the story URL so local coverage does not get mixed with the national stream.
Call /hindustantimes/sections to select a live section such as india-news, cities, cricket, technology, or ht-explainers.
Use /hindustantimes/news for the latest stream, or /hindustantimes/headlines with a chosen section for a narrower editorial feed.
Pass a canonical story URL to /hindustantimes/article and an author URL or slug to /hindustantimes/author for structured article and contributor records.
FAQ
The supported section inventory includes national and world reporting alongside city news, business, cricket, entertainment, technology, education, real estate, cars, books, astrology, HT City, opinion, and explainers.
Discover the current section slug first, then call /hindustantimes/headlines with cricket instead of relying on the broader site-wide latest-news stream.
Yes. Article responses carry the public story metadata and body, while the author endpoint resolves a public contributor profile and recent work where the publisher exposes it.
