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

How to scrape The Sun
The Sun's home feed mixes hard news with institutions like the Mystic Meg horoscope column, which has run daily for decades — the 22 September 2026 edition, bylined Maggie Hyde, published at 23:01:00 and was revised 42 seconds later at 23:01:42. Crawlora's four endpoints return The Sun's ten sections, that feed, per-section headlines, and articles as normalized JSON.
/sun/sections returns the full 10-slug list /sun/headlines accepts — news, politics, royal-family, sport, showbiz, money, tech, fabulous, travel, and health.
/sun/news reads The Sun's public home RSS feed. On 2026-09-22 it ranged from a knifepoint-abduction crime story to World Darts Championship ticket deals and a Mystic Meg horoscope, each carrying an author, image_url, and published_at.
Pass a slug from /sun/sections to /sun/headlines. Most sections parse a public category page; news reads the same home RSS feed as /sun/news. Coverage depth varies by section and day — showbiz returned a single headline on 2026-09-22, and royal-family returned none, since The Sun's category pages aren't always populated at request time.
Pass a canonical numeric-id URL to /sun/article for title, author, section, and body paragraphs. Mystic Meg's 22 September horoscope column, bylined Maggie Hyde and tagged section: Fabulous, was revised 42 seconds after its initial publish.
FAQ
10 — news, politics, royal-family, sport, showbiz, money, tech, fabulous, travel, and health — call /sun/sections for the live list.
The site-wide feed and the news section both read The Sun's public home RSS feed; the remaining sections are parsed from their public category page. RSS/Atom items are filtered so video-only entries aren't returned as article links.
The URL must end in a numeric article id, the format The Sun assigns each published article, for example thesun.co.uk/fabulous/40451644/horoscope-star-sign-mystic-meg-maggie-hyde-september-22.
No. These endpoints read The Sun's public RSS feed, category pages, and article pages — no login or subscription is bypassed. Crawlora API authentication still applies.
Not reliably. Coverage volume tracks what The Sun's own category pages hold at request time — on 2026-09-22 showbiz returned just one headline and royal-family returned none, even though both sections exist in /sun/sections and can be populated at other times.
