Managed execution

How Crawlora handles this platform

Every figure below is read from the live The Japan Times endpoint catalog — 5 endpoints, 8 documented request parameters, and 5 published response schemas — the same catalog Docs and Playground run against.

Documented endpoint coverage

5 documented The Japan Times endpoints, grouped into 5 request families — Article, Author and Headlines, plus 2 more.

Published request surface

8 request parameters are documented across those The Japan Times endpoints, 8 of them required — the full input contract is public before you write any integration code.

Known response shape

5 of the 5 The Japan 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.

Documented failure modes

The Japan Times endpoints document their error responses (400, 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.

Agent-callable MCP tools

5 hosted MCP tools back the The Japan Times endpoints, so an agent can call the same routes with the same parameters and the same JSON contract, with no custom glue.

Lists the 60 sections linked from The Japan Times main navigation, which the headlines endpoint accepts, for example `news-japan`, `business-markets`, `sports-sumo`, `culture-film` and `community-voices`. Each entry has a `slug`, a display `name` and a section `url`.

How to scrape The Japan Times

Extract The Japan Times data in 5 steps

The Japan Times is an English-language Japanese newspaper covering Japan, business, opinion, culture, and sports. A live /japantimes/sections response on 2026-10-14 contained 60 section records; refresh it before scheduling because publisher feeds change. Select from the returned news, business, opinion, culture, and sports section slugs, keeping the original section label with each result. Use canonical HTTPS story URLs for article requests and the numeric-ID /author/ profile form for contributor archives; this is profile lookup rather than byline search. A canonical article route does not establish subscriber access or permission to republish. The publisher's republishing policy requires permission; its link policy permits only limited attributed excerpts. Respect returned public text and access state. Use the endpoint cards for this integration's accepted inputs. Publisher reference: https://www.japantimes.co.jp/about-us/

Step 1
Refresh The Japan Times's editorial inventory
A live /japantimes/sections response on 2026-10-14 contained 60 section records; refresh it before scheduling because publisher feeds change. Select from the returned news, business, opinion, culture, and sports section slugs, keeping the original section label with each result. Use canonical HTTPS story URLs for article requests and the numeric-ID /author/ profile form for contributor archives; this is profile lookup rather than byline search.
Step 2
Plan around The Japan Times's source-specific constraints
The contributor route is a numeric-ID public profile URL, not a search over arbitrary bylines. Before using extracted text beyond internal monitoring, follow The Japan Times republication policy; a public article response does not grant reuse rights or prove subscription access.
Step 3
Carry The Japan Times section context into each headline pull
The contributor route is a numeric-ID public profile URL, not a search over arbitrary bylines. Before using extracted text beyond internal monitoring, follow The Japan Times republication policy; a public article response does not grant reuse rights or prove subscription access. Pass only a value returned by /japantimes/sections and accepted by /japantimes/headlines; preserve the selected desk with its results.
Step 4
Check The Japan Times article access before using body text
A canonical article route does not establish subscriber access or permission to republish. The publisher's republishing policy requires permission; its link policy permits only limited attributed excerpts. Respect returned public text and access state. Keep teaser, truncation, premium, or access fields beside the canonical URL so downstream users can see what the publisher actually returned.
Step 5
Use The Japan Times's contributor route for its documented purpose
Select from the returned news, business, opinion, culture, and sports section slugs, keeping the original section label with each result. Use canonical HTTPS story URLs for article requests and the numeric-ID /author/ profile form for contributor archives; this is profile lookup rather than byline search. A canonical article route does not establish subscriber access or permission to republish. The publisher's republishing policy requires permission; its link policy permits only limited attributed excerpts. Respect returned public text and access state.
