Managed execution
Every figure below is read from the live SCMP endpoint catalog — 4 endpoints, 7 documented request parameters, and 4 published response schemas — the same catalog Docs and Playground run against.
4 documented SCMP endpoints, grouped into 4 request families — Article, Author and Headlines, plus 1 more.
7 request parameters are documented across those SCMP endpoints, 7 of them required — the full input contract is public before you write any integration code.
4 of the 4 SCMP endpoints carry a documented response schema, so the JSON shape is known before you write any parsing code.
SCMP endpoints document their error responses (400, 403, 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.
4 hosted MCP tools back the SCMP endpoints, so an agent can call the same routes with the same parameters and the same JSON contract, with no custom glue.
Coverage map
These cards are generated from the active endpoint catalog, so the landing page reflects the same API surface used by Docs and Playground.

Endpoint catalog
/scmp/articleReturns one public South China Morning Post article's metadata and body paragraphs from a canonical article URL. `content_locked` and `paywall_types` are the upstream's own restricted-access signals for that article, reported exactly as the site returns them; the body returned here is the same one the site's own page serves to an anonymous visitor. An article whose page genuinely withholds its body is reported as a restricted-access error instead of a hollow or truncated response.
MCP tool scmp_article
/scmp/authorReturns one South China Morning Post author/reporter's public profile -- name, role, biography, areas of expertise, languages, location, headshot, and contact/social links -- plus their recent articles, from a canonical author URL.
MCP tool scmp_author
/scmp/headlinesReturns the current article listing for one South China Morning Post section: each story's title, canonical URL, summary, byline, publication time, and lead image. Section must be a slug returned by /scmp/sections.
MCP tool scmp_headlines
/scmp/sectionsLists every South China Morning Post section accepted by /scmp/headlines, with its slug, display name, feed URL, and (for a subsection) its parent section's slug and name. Values: `news`, `business`, `property`, `tech`, `lifestyle`, `culture`, `sport`, `postmag`, `style`, `this-week-in-asia`, `cooking`, `hong-kong`, `china`, `asia`, `world`, `people-culture`, `china-politics`, `china-diplomacy`, `china-economy`, `hong-kong-politics`, `hong-kong-economy`, `hong-kong-health-environment`, `hong-kong-education`, `world-us-canada`, `world-europe`, `world-middle-east`, `world-americas`, `world-africa`, `world-russia-central-asia`, `asia-australasia`, `asia-diplomacy`, `asia-east-asia`, `asia-southeast-asia`, `asia-south-asia`, `business-companies`, `business-investor-relations`, `business-global-economy`, `business-money-wealth`, `opinion-comment`, `opinion-harrys-view`, `opinion-blogs`, `opinion-polls`, `opinion-letters`, `property-hong-kong-china`, `property-international`, `tech-big-tech`, `tech-enterprises`, `tech-innovation`, `tech-leaders-founders`, `tech-science-research`, `lifestyle-fashion-beauty`, `lifestyle-travel-leisure`, `lifestyle-motoring`, `lifestyle-food-drink`, `lifestyle-health-wellness`, `lifestyle-watches`, `culture-books`, `culture-music`, `culture-film-tv`, `culture-arts`, `sport-hong-kong`, `sport-china`, `sport-golf`, `sport-racing`, `sport-rugby`, `sport-football`, `sport-tennis`, `sport-other`, `sport-boxing`, `sport-hong-kong-sevens`, `postmag-culture`, `postmag-travel`, `postmag-food-drink`, `postmag-passions`, `postmag-wellness`, `postmag-design-interiors`, `style-luxury`, `style-fashion`, `style-beauty`, `style-people`, `style-lifestyle`, `this-week-in-asia-politics`, `this-week-in-asia-geopolitics`, `this-week-in-asia-economics`, `this-week-in-asia-society`, `this-week-in-asia-opinion`, `this-week-in-asia-asia-buzz`, `this-week-in-asia-people`.

How to scrape SCMP
Crawlora's SCMP endpoints read scmp.com and return JSON for articles, section headlines, and reporter profiles. SCMP organizes content into 88 section and subsection RSS feeds two levels deep — Tech, for instance, splits into Big Tech, Enterprises, Innovation, Tech Leaders and Founders, and Science & Research — and the Tech section alone carried 30 stories between September 13 and September 23, 2026, almost all covering the US-China AI and chip race. Article JSON exposes a content_locked flag and a paywall_types array for SCMP's premium stories, plus a topics array of tag names distinct from the section taxonomy.
/scmp/sections returns 88 section and subsection feeds across News, Business, Tech, Lifestyle, Culture, Sport, Style, and This Week in Asia, with a parent_name field where a feed is nested; /scmp/headlines takes a slug like tech or china-economy and returns title, url, author, summary, image_url, and published_at.
/scmp/article returns title, section, authors, published_at, updated_at, the body as paragraphs, a topics tag array, and — for premium stories — content_locked and paywall_types fields.
/scmp/author returns name, role, bio, expertise, a languages array (SCMP's China-desk reporters are frequently bilingual), headshot_url, and a recent-articles list.
FAQ
/scmp/sections returns 88 feeds across 11 top-level sections (News, Business, Property, Tech, Lifestyle, Culture, Sport, PostMag, Style, This Week in Asia, Cooking), most with nested subsections carrying a parent_name — Tech, for example, breaks into Big Tech, Enterprises, Innovation, Tech Leaders and Founders, and Science & Research.
Yes. /scmp/article returns a content_locked boolean and, when true, a paywall_types array — useful for filtering premium-only content before requesting full body text.
An array of tag names distinct from the section taxonomy — a recent AI-slowdown feature carried tags spanning companies (OpenAI, Anthropic), people (Dario Amodei, Sam Altman), and themes (US-China tech war, AI: Geopolitics).
/scmp/author returns a languages array — SCMP's China-desk reporters are often tagged with both English and Mandarin.
/scmp/headlines for tech returned 30 stories over a 10-day window when queried, roughly 3 per day, dominated by US-China AI and semiconductor coverage.
