Managed execution
Every figure below is read from the live Nation Africa endpoint catalog — 5 endpoints, 9 documented request parameters, and 5 published response schemas — the same catalog Docs and Playground run against.
5 documented Nation Africa endpoints, grouped into 5 request families — Article, Author and Headlines, plus 2 more.
9 request parameters are documented across those Nation Africa endpoints, 7 of them required — the full input contract is public before you write any integration code.
5 of the 5 Nation Africa endpoints ship a recorded example response, and 5 carry a documented response schema — you can code against the real JSON before the first request.
Nation Africa 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.
5 hosted MCP tools back the Nation Africa endpoints, so an agent can call the same routes with the same parameters and the same JSON contract, with no custom glue.

Endpoint catalog
/nationafrica/articleReturns public Nation Africa article metadata and body paragraphs from a canonical article URL. paywalled is true for a Premium story: the publisher serves an anonymous reader only the opening paragraph(s), so paragraphs is a partial teaser and nothing is bypassed. Video, photo, audio, puzzle and cartoon URLs are rejected with a 400.
MCP tool nationafrica_article
/nationafrica/authorReturns one Nation Africa author's public profile: name, bio, portrait and the latest stories the profile page itself lists (a handful; the site loads the full list separately and it is not read).
MCP tool nationafrica_author
/nationafrica/headlinesReturns the current story teasers of one public Nation Africa section page. Subscriber-only stories carry type "premium". Teasers show only a relative age, so published_at is omitted.
MCP tool nationafrica_headlines
/nationafrica/newsReturns the newest Nation Africa (Daily Nation, Kenya) stories from its public news sitemap: headline, publication time and lead image. If the sitemap returns 404, it falls back to the public News section hub, whose relative timestamps may omit publication time. Video pages are excluded.
MCP tool nationafrica_news
/nationafrica/sectionsLists the 47 section slugs of Nation Africa's Kenya edition accepted by `nationafrica-headlines`, such as `news`, `politics`, `counties`, `football` and `fact-checks`. Each entry has its `slug`, display `name` and section page `url`. Photo, video, audio, puzzle, newsletter and cartoon pages are not included.

How to scrape Nation Africa
Nation Africa is Nation Media Group’s digital platform for its Kenyan and wider East African journalism. A Kenya-only keyword feed misses the regional frame carried by its editorial sections. The article endpoint reads the anonymous page: Premium pieces may expose only opening paragraphs, and the paywalled flag identifies that boundary. Section teaser cards may also identify Premium stories without supplying a publication timestamp, so avoid inventing one from relative age text.
Use /nationafrica/sections to identify the Kenya edition’s public desks, then pass a selected section to /nationafrica/headlines. Keep its section and premium card type when comparing Kenyan national and neighboring-country coverage.
/nationafrica/news reads the public news sitemap and provides a dated discovery queue. It excludes video pages, which prevents non-article media from being passed into an article-text workflow.
Open canonical story URLs with /nationafrica/article. If paywalled is true, store the returned opening text as a teaser. /nationafrica/author lists the handful of recent stories visible on one public profile, not a complete author archive.
The Nation Africa article endpoint rejects video, photo, audio, puzzle and cartoon URLs. Keep those content types in a separate media inventory rather than recording each rejection as a missing news article.
FAQ
Nation Africa section teasers can show only a relative age. The headlines endpoint omits published_at in that case; use the news sitemap or article metadata when an exact time matters.
No. It returns what the public profile page lists. For a comprehensive study, keep discovering stories through the section and news endpoints and use the author profile for context.
