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

Endpoint catalog
/rappler/articleReturns public Rappler article metadata and body paragraphs from a canonical article URL. Rappler+ member-tier stories are flagged with paywalled.
MCP tool rappler_article
/rappler/authorReturns a Rappler author's profile, looked up by `slug` (for example `delfin-dioquino`) or by canonical `url`; exactly one is required. The response has the name, `bio`, `social_links` and the 10 most recent articles, each with title, URL, section and publication time. There is no further paging. `bio` and `social_links` are omitted when empty; an unknown author returns not-found.
MCP tool rappler_author
/rappler/headlinesReturns the latest Rappler stories for one section. `section` is required and takes one of the site's category slugs, such as `business`, `nation`, `entertainment`, `fact-check`, `investigative` or `climate-change`. Each item has its title, URL, summary, publication time and author, plus an image when the outlet provides one.
MCP tool rappler_headlines
/rappler/newsReturns the newest Rappler stories across all sections. Takes no parameters. Each item has its title, canonical article URL, a short summary, publication time, author byline and lead image.
MCP tool rappler_news
/rappler/sectionsLists the 175 Rappler categories that have a live feed and are accepted by `rappler-headlines`, such as `news-updates`, `business`, `nation`, `fact-check` and `climate-change`. Each entry has a `slug`, a display `name` and the category `url`.

How to scrape Rappler
Rappler is a Philippine digital newsroom co-founded by Maria Ressa, known for accountability reporting and fact checking alongside national and regional news. For researchers, an investigation and a fact check should remain distinct editorial forms even if both concern the same political claim. The public section feeds make that distinction possible. Rappler+ member-tier articles may be marked paywalled, so preserve the label rather than treating any visible excerpt as complete text.
Read /rappler/sections and choose the relevant category for /rappler/headlines. Keep the returned category when analyzing claims, civic participation or policy coverage.
/rappler/news reads the public site-wide RSS feed. Use canonical URLs to deduplicate an article that also appears in a section, while preserving both source placements if needed.
/rappler/article returns public metadata and paragraphs from a canonical URL and flags Rappler+ membership stories. /rappler/author provides a public biography, links and recent work for a supported contributor profile.
For a fact-check series, store the specific claim or issue addressed in the article, not merely its politics category. This prevents unrelated checks from being grouped as one claim across publication dates.
FAQ
Do not infer that from a headline card or short text. Keep the article endpoint’s paywalled flag and use only the public paragraphs returned for that URL.
A fact check evaluates a specific claim, while a news story reports events or context. Preserving Rappler’s source section makes later claim analysis more defensible than grouping both under politics.
