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

Endpoint catalog
/phonearena/articleReturns public PhoneArena news or review metadata and body paragraphs from a canonical article URL. PhoneArena serves pages behind a Cloudflare challenge; when the challenge is not cleared the endpoint returns a 503 error.
MCP tool phonearena_article
/phonearena/authorReturns one PhoneArena staff author's public profile: name, role, biography, image, social links and the recent articles listed on the profile page.
MCP tool phonearena_author
/phonearena/headlinesReturns up to 100 newest PhoneArena stories or reviews from one public listing. For news-month and reviews, titles are reconstructed from the hero-image file name and published_at is the listing's last-modified time.
MCP tool phonearena_headlines
/phonearena/newsReturns PhoneArena's most recent phone news stories (about the last two days) from its public news sitemap, with exact titles and publication times.
MCP tool phonearena_news
/phonearena/sectionsLists the three PhoneArena listings that `phonearena-headlines` accepts: `news` (the last two days of news), `news-month` (the newest news of the current calendar month) and `reviews` (the newest reviews, comparisons and hands-on articles of the current year). Each entry has a `slug`, a display `name` and a source `url`.

How to scrape PhoneArena
PhoneArena, founded by Pressian Karakostov, specializes in mobile devices, comparisons, software and carrier coverage. Its endpoint family uses different discovery sources: recent phone news comes from a public news sitemap, while the headlines endpoint covers selected listings including current-month news and current-year reviews. Those listing records can have titles reconstructed from hero-image filenames and listing modification times rather than original publication times. Keep that provenance visible when building a launch timeline.
Read /phonearena/sections for accepted recent-news, monthly-news and review listings. Use a returned choice with /phonearena/headlines and retain which listing supplied each result.
/phonearena/news provides the most recent phone news with exact titles and publication times. Prefer this stream for time-sensitive launch tracking instead of treating a review listing’s last-modified value as its publication time.
/phonearena/article reads a canonical news or review URL; the site can present a Cloudflare challenge, in which case the endpoint returns 503. /phonearena/author adds a public staff profile when accessible. Retry a 503 later rather than filling missing text from a card.
FAQ
For certain monthly news and review listings, the headline endpoint uses the listing’s last-modified time. It is not necessarily the article’s original publication time; resolve the article when that distinction matters.
PhoneArena’s site may serve a Cloudflare challenge. A 503 reflects that access state, not proof that the story is deleted. Keep the URL and retry later without inventing a body.
Only after labeling their provenance. The sitemap news stream has exact publication times, whereas some listing cards expose a last-modified time and a title reconstructed from an image filename.
