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

Older pages are not available.
MCP tool screenrant_author
/screenrant/headlinesReturns about 10 of the most recent ScreenRant items for one section. `section` is required and takes one of 34 slugs such as `movie-news`, `tv-reviews`, `reality-tv`, `comics`, `game-news` or `anime`.

How to scrape ScreenRant
ScreenRant is Valnet's entertainment publication, covering film, television, comics, gaming, anime, and the explainer and ranking formats built around major franchises. Its pages are useful for mapping fan attention, but a list feature, review, casting update, and plot explanation should not be collapsed into one news category. Preserve both the franchise named in an article and its editorial format when building an entertainment dataset.
Call /screenrant/sections to inspect the publisher's current taxonomy. Map movie, television, gaming, anime, and comics sections before looking for a franchise. This reduces false matches between an adaptation and its source medium.
Use /screenrant/headlines for a selected section and /screenrant/news for the broader current stream. Read a focused headline feed for release or casting activity, and treat ranking or recap pieces as a separate content format from time-sensitive reporting.
Pass a canonical public URL to /screenrant/article and use /screenrant/author for the named contributor when available. Fetch a public article and its contributor profile when analyzing recurring franchise coverage. Preserve spoiler context and publication date for plot explainers or episode recaps.
FAQ
Yes, with careful labeling. Collect the relevant movie, TV, comics, or gaming sections and tag the franchise and medium yourself. A character name alone can connect unrelated articles, so verify the work discussed in each article.
No. Rankings and explainers are editorial features whose positions or interpretations should be attributed to ScreenRant. Store the format beside the headline, URL, date, and author before using those pages in trend reports.
Tag an explainer with the franchise, title, and release or episode context. Store the source date and avoid exposing plot claims as real-world news; the article is an interpretation of fictional material.
