Managed execution
Every figure below is read from the live i endpoint catalog — 5 endpoints, 8 documented request parameters, and 5 published response schemas — the same catalog Docs and Playground run against.
5 documented i endpoints, grouped into 5 request families — Article, Author and Headlines, plus 2 more.
8 request parameters are documented across those i endpoints, 8 of them required — the full input contract is public before you write any integration code.
5 of the 5 i endpoints ship a recorded example response, and 5 carry a documented response schema — you can code against the real JSON before the first request.
i endpoints document their error responses (400, 403, 404 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 i endpoints, so an agent can call the same routes with the same parameters and the same JSON contract, with no custom glue.

Endpoint catalog
/inews/articleReturns public i article metadata (headline, description, section, authors, publish/update times, lead image) and body paragraphs from a canonical article URL.
MCP tool inews_article
/inews/authorReturns an author profile from i (inews.co.uk) by `url`, a canonical `https://inews.co.uk/author/<slug>` link. The response has `name`, `bio`, `image_url`, `same_as` social profiles and up to about 30 recent articles, each with title, URL, summary, section and `published_at`. Paginated or non-author URLs return 400, and an unknown author returns 404.
MCP tool inews_author
/inews/headlinesReturns fresh headlines from one public i section feed. The section must be a slug returned by the sections endpoint.
MCP tool inews_headlines
/inews/newsReturns fresh i (inews.co.uk) top stories from the site's public RSS feed, with summary, author, publish time, and lead image when present.
MCP tool inews_news
/inews/sectionsLists the 45 i sections accepted by `inews-headlines`, from `home` and `news` to `football`, `money` and `relationships`. Each entry has a `slug`, display `name` and `url`. `home` is the site-wide listing, and low-volume sections such as `golf` or `comedy` may hold only one or two items.

How to scrape i
The i, published online at inews.co.uk, is a UK newspaper within DMGT's Harmsworth Media with broad national and world coverage plus business, culture and practical service journalism. Its concise presentation makes the general RSS feed useful for daily discovery, but a section feed is preferable when following one policy area. The endpoint names use the inews path prefix even though the catalog group is the lowercase letter i; keeping that mapping intact avoids a broken route or mislabeled source.
Call /inews/sections and use an accepted slug with /inews/headlines. The returned record includes a display name and public RSS URL, which can be stored as provenance for each section series.
/inews/news reads the public RSS feed and can provide summaries, authors, publication times and lead images where present. Use canonical URLs to reconcile overlap with a section feed.
Pass a canonical inews.co.uk URL to /inews/article for public paragraphs, authors and publish or update times. /inews/author adds a biography, links and recent pieces for a supported writer profile.
FAQ
The publisher uses the i brand while the website and catalog endpoint prefix use inews. The platform group and endpoint IDs deliberately retain those different names.
Keep both publication and update times when the article supplies them. Publication time answers when the story first appeared; update time helps track later editorial revisions.
Use /inews/sections first. Its returned slugs are the accepted inputs for /inews/headlines; the human-facing category label may not match an intuitive path fragment.
