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

Endpoint catalog
/nydailynews/articleReturns public New York Daily News article metadata and body paragraphs from a canonical article URL. For subscriber-only articles the response carries the free lead-in with paywalled set to true.
MCP tool nydailynews_article
/nydailynews/authorReturns one New York Daily News author's public profile: name, job title, bio, public email and X/Twitter handle, and their recent articles.
MCP tool nydailynews_author
/nydailynews/headlinesReturns New York Daily News headlines for one section, newest first, up to about 100 stories. `section` is required and takes one of 36 slugs such as `crime-public-safety`, `new-york-yankees` or `opinion`; other values return an invalid-params error. Items carry a title and URL, plus publication time, byline, excerpt and lead image where shown. Team pages can list fewer stories out of season.
MCP tool nydailynews_headlines
/nydailynews/newsReturns the current New York Daily News top stories, with no parameters. Each item has a title and canonical article URL, plus publication time, byline, excerpt and lead image where the story card shows them. Use `nydailynews-headlines` for a single section.
MCP tool nydailynews_news
/nydailynews/sectionsLists the 36 New York Daily News section slugs accepted by `nydailynews-headlines`, such as `crime-public-safety`, `new-york-mets`, `nfl` and `things-to-do`. Each entry has its `slug` (the last path segment of the section URL), display `name` and `url`. Topic (`/tag/...`) pages and off-site properties are not sections.

How to scrape Daily News
The New York Daily News centers metropolitan New York, including City Hall, neighborhoods, transit, courts and local sports. A story tagged politics may concern a city agency rather than Washington; preserve the original section and canonical URL for geographic interpretation. Subscriber-only articles expose a free lead-in with paywalled set to true, which is useful for discovery but should never be represented as the full story.
Use /nydailynews/sections and /nydailynews/headlines to monitor a specific editorial desk. A transit project can keep transit stories separate from general city or crime coverage even when an event appears across sections.
/nydailynews/news returns current top stories. Record when your own collection ran, since a homepage is curated and changes as the newsroom promotes developing stories.
Pass each canonical URL to /nydailynews/article and retain paywalled status. For reporter research, /nydailynews/author gives a public role, biography and recent articles; use only public contact details in the returned profile.
FAQ
No. The endpoint returns the free lead-in and sets paywalled to true. Store it as a partial text result so search or summaries do not imply full access.
The Daily News covers citywide and neighborhood events. Those labels help separate a borough-level service issue from a statewide or national story when comparing local reporting.
