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

Endpoint catalog
/ign/sectionsLists the 12 IGN sections accepted by `ign-headlines`: `news`, `reviews`, `games`, `movies`, `tv`, `tech`, `nintendo`, `playstation`, `xbox`, `pc`, `mobile` and `comics`. Each entry has a `slug`, display `name` and `url`.
MCP tool ign_sections
/ign/newsReturns IGN's current top stories on gaming and entertainment, with no parameters. Each item has its title and URL, plus summary, author, publication time and image when the outlet provides them, covering games, film and TV news in one list.
MCP tool ign_news
/ign/headlinesReturns current IGN headlines for one section. `section` is required and takes one of `news`, `reviews`, `games`, `movies`, `tv`, `tech`, `nintendo`, `playstation`, `xbox`, `pc`, `mobile` or `comics`. Each item has its title and URL, plus summary, author, publication time and image when the outlet provides them.
MCP tool ign_headlines
/ign/articleReturns public IGN article or review metadata and body paragraphs from a canonical article URL. Only canonical https://www.ign.com/articles/<slug> URLs are accepted; wiki, video, and game/movie/TV hub pages return an invalid-parameter error.
MCP tool ign_article
/ign/authorReturns an IGN author profile by `url`, a canonical `https://www.ign.com/person/<username>` link. The response has the `username`, name, job title, location, biography, headshot, `social_links` (platform and URL) and the author's recent articles.

How to scrape IGN
IGN covers games and entertainment through distinct feeds for reviews, games, movies, TV, tech, Nintendo, PlayStation, Xbox, PC, mobile, and comics. Separate a platform feed from reviews or guides at discovery time: an Xbox or Nintendo watchlist answers a different question from a game’s editorial assessment.
Call /ign/sections to choose a public feed such as reviews, nintendo, playstation, xbox, pc, mobile, or comics.
Use /ign/news for top stories or /ign/headlines with a selected section to avoid mixing games coverage with movie or TV reporting.
Use /ign/article for a canonical article and /ign/author for a public writer profile and recent articles.
FAQ
Yes. IGN exposes Nintendo, PlayStation, Xbox, PC, and mobile section routes in addition to the general games feed.
No. The supported taxonomy also contains movies, TV, tech, comics, and reviews, reflecting IGN’s broader entertainment coverage.
Use /ign/headlines with the reviews section and open selected canonical URLs through /ign/article for public metadata and body text.
