5 documented Sydney Morning Herald endpoints, grouped into 5 request families — Article, Author and Headlines, plus 2 more.
8 request parameters are documented across those Sydney Morning Herald endpoints, 8 of them required — the full input contract is public before you write any integration code.
5 of the 5 Sydney Morning Herald endpoints ship a recorded example response, and 5 carry a documented response schema — you can code against the real JSON before the first request.
Sydney Morning Herald 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 Sydney Morning Herald endpoints, so an agent can call the same routes with the same parameters and the same JSON contract, with no custom glue.

Endpoint catalog
/smh/articleReturns one Sydney Morning Herald article's public metadata and the body paragraphs an anonymous visitor's page request is served, from a canonical article URL. The Sydney Morning Herald runs a metered subscription paywall; the response reports it with is_accessible_for_free (the page's own declaration), paywalled (the page marks the story as subscriber content), and is_truncated (the page served a shortened preview, or no body at all, instead of the full story). Paywalls are never bypassed and body text is never fabricated. Video-only pages are rejected with a 400.
MCP tool smh_article

How to scrape Sydney Morning Herald
The Sydney Morning Herald is Nine Entertainment's Sydney newspaper, reporting on the city and New South Wales as well as Australian national politics, business, investigations, culture, and sport. City and state geography matters for housing, transport, and public-service research. Keep a Sydney municipal development apart from an NSW government decision even if both appear in the same general news feed.
Call /smh/sections to inspect the publisher's current taxonomy. Discover Sydney, NSW, business, national, and culture sections. Select the beat that matches the decision maker or community in the research question.
Use /smh/headlines for a selected section and /smh/news for the broader current stream. Gather headlines from the chosen section and record the collection date. Topic counts should retain the original desk so statewide and national stories remain comparable.
Pass a canonical public URL to /smh/article and use /smh/author for the named contributor when available. Fetch articles and public reporter records, then read for councils, state agencies, and named suburbs. Avoid assigning a jurisdiction from the newspaper title alone.
FAQ
Yes. Combine the relevant city and NSW feeds, then extract the place, policy body, and type of housing issue from each article. A market story and a planning decision are distinct observations.
Its Sydney and NSW reporting provides regional depth alongside national coverage. Preserve the publisher section and article geography so a Sydney-focused analysis does not absorb unrelated federal or interstate stories.
Store both places when supported by the article and identify which authority acted. A state policy can have Sydney consequences without being a decision of the city government.
