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

How to scrape Investopedia
Investopedia combines current financial news with investing and financial-literacy reference coverage. Its catalog lists 43 public sections confirmed on 2026-09-24 across news, investing, banking, personal finance, economy, and reviews. Build separate collections for explainers and current reporting, since a definition or guide can remain useful well beyond the news cycle that prompted a related article.
Call /investopedia/sections to distinguish markets-news or earnings-reports from stocks, savings-accounts, retirement-planning, taxes, or economics.
Use /investopedia/news for current financial stories or /investopedia/headlines with a supported section for a product, rate, or market topic.
Use /investopedia/article for the canonical content and /investopedia/author for public contributor details and recent articles.
FAQ
Yes. Supported sections span investing, banking products, retirement, loans, budgeting, taxes, insurance, financial literacy, policy, and economics.
The documented taxonomy includes CD, mortgage-rate, savings-account, money-market-account, and checking-account routes.
Yes. /investopedia/news returns the current news stream, and the same list is available by using the news section with headlines.
No. Investopedia has no self-serve developer API — its parent, Dotdash Meredith, licenses the content of Investopedia and its sibling sites only through negotiated enterprise deals, the best-documented example being its reported $16M+/year content-licensing agreement with OpenAI. Crawlora's endpoints read Investopedia's own public section, headline, and article pages directly, with no licensing contract required.
