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