Managed execution
Every figure below is read from the live Inquirer endpoint catalog — 5 endpoints, 9 documented request parameters, and 5 published response schemas — the same catalog Docs and Playground run against.
5 documented Inquirer endpoints, grouped into 5 request families — Article, Author and Headlines, plus 2 more.
9 request parameters are documented across those Inquirer endpoints, 8 of them required — the full input contract is public before you write any integration code.
5 of the 5 Inquirer endpoints ship a recorded example response, and 5 carry a documented response schema — you can code against the real JSON before the first request.
Inquirer 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 Inquirer endpoints, so an agent can call the same routes with the same parameters and the same JSON contract, with no custom glue.

Endpoint catalog
/inquirer/articleReturns public Philippine Daily Inquirer article metadata and body paragraphs from a canonical article URL on any of its ten public news subdomains.
MCP tool inquirer_article
/inquirer/authorReturns one Philippine Daily Inquirer byline's public archive page: the contributor's name and their recent articles on that subdomain, from a canonical byline URL. Byline pages are per-subdomain, so an author's articles from a different section require calling this endpoint again with that section's own byline URL.
MCP tool inquirer_author
/inquirer/headlinesReturns the latest Philippine Daily Inquirer stories for one section. `section` is required and takes `newsinfo`, `globalnation`, `business`, `sports`, `entertainment`, `lifestyle`, `technology`, `opinion`, `usa` or `cebudailynews`. Each item has its title, URL, summary, publication time, author and lead image.
MCP tool inquirer_headlines
/inquirer/newsReturns the latest top stories from the Philippine Daily Inquirer's flagship national-news site, newsinfo.inquirer.net. Takes no parameters. Each item has its title, URL, summary, publication time, author and lead image.
MCP tool inquirer_news
/inquirer/sectionsLists the ten Philippine Daily Inquirer sections that `inquirer-headlines` accepts, from `newsinfo` to `cebudailynews`. Each entry has a `slug`, a display `name` and the section's `url`. Takes no parameters.
MCP tool inquirer_sections

How to scrape Inquirer
The Philippine Daily Inquirer distributes its public news across multiple section subdomains. That architecture affects collection more than a simple topic tag would: an author archive belongs to a particular subdomain, and the same writer’s work elsewhere may require another byline URL. The catalog’s section endpoint identifies the accepted public news subdomains, giving researchers a concrete map for separating national, business, opinion and entertainment coverage.
Start with /inquirer/sections. Pass one returned section to /inquirer/headlines to read its public RSS feed; keep the subdomain and section in stored records so Philippine regional or subject context survives aggregation.
Use /inquirer/news for fresh top stories. Join by canonical URL with section results, rather than interpreting a repeated article across feeds as a separate publication.
/inquirer/article accepts canonical story URLs on the supported public news subdomains. /inquirer/author reads one byline archive on one subdomain; request another section’s byline URL separately if you need that author’s work there.
FAQ
No. The byline archive is tied to the canonical URL and its subdomain. A researcher following a writer across desks should retain and query the distinct public byline URLs.
The sections represent actual public news subdomains accepted by the headlines endpoint. Using that inventory prevents a guessed hostname or generic category label from silently dropping a desk.
