Managed execution
Every figure below is read from the live The Hindu endpoint catalog — 5 endpoints, 8 documented request parameters, and 5 published response schemas — the same catalog Docs and Playground run against.
5 documented The Hindu endpoints, grouped into 5 request families — Article, Author and Headlines, plus 2 more.
8 request parameters are documented across those The Hindu endpoints, 8 of them required — the full input contract is public before you write any integration code.
5 of the 5 The Hindu 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 Hindu 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.
5 hosted MCP tools back the The Hindu 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 Hindu
The Hindu, published by Kasturi & Sons, is an Indian newspaper with a strong public-affairs and policy readership. It covers India, world affairs, business, science, sport, city reporting, and editorial analysis. A research corpus can compare a national policy announcement with the paper's subsequent analysis, but only if the article type and geographic desk are preserved instead of merging both into one event count.
Call /thehindu/sections to inspect the publisher's current taxonomy. Identify India, world, business, science, or city coverage before building a feed. City stories can provide implementation detail that a national policy headline omits.
Use /thehindu/headlines for a selected section and /thehindu/news for the broader current stream. Collect a time-bounded set of headlines for the relevant desk and retain the public section slug; an editorial or explainer should be tagged separately from a straight report.
Pass a canonical public URL to /thehindu/article for public article text and metadata; subscriber-only content may be unavailable or return an access error. Use /thehindu/author for the contributor record when available. When summarizing policy, attribute the position to its source, columnist, or the newspaper and keep the canonical URL for access checks.
FAQ
Yes. Begin with the relevant national or city section, then retain each article's date and source URL. Read the body for the ministry, court, or state government involved before connecting stories to one policy timeline.
Mark opinion and editorial analysis as their own content types with authorship and publication date. They may explain the significance of a decision, but their judgments should remain attributed rather than turned into event facts.
