Managed execution
Every figure below is read from the live Times of Israel endpoint catalog — 5 endpoints, 8 documented request parameters, and 5 published response schemas — the same catalog Docs and Playground run against.
5 documented Times of Israel endpoints, grouped into 5 request families — Article, Author and Headlines, plus 2 more.
8 request parameters are documented across those Times of Israel endpoints, 8 of them required — the full input contract is public before you write any integration code.
5 of the 5 Times of Israel endpoints ship a recorded example response, and 5 carry a documented response schema — you can code against the real JSON before the first request.
Times of Israel 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 Times of Israel 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 Times of Israel
The Times of Israel is an independent English-language Israel news site founded by David Horovitz. It covers Israeli politics, security, diplomacy, the Middle East, Jewish communities abroad, culture, and opinion. For regional-affairs research, distinguish a development in Israel from a diaspora story or an external diplomatic response. Section context helps, but article text and cited speakers establish the actual event and location.
Call /timesofisrael/sections to inspect the publisher's current taxonomy. Browse Israel, Middle East, Jewish world, diaspora, and opinion sections before gathering stories. Those feeds describe different communities and geographic scopes.
Use /timesofisrael/headlines for a selected section and /timesofisrael/news for the broader current stream. Take a dated headline sample for the chosen desk, then keep reported developments apart from analysis and personal commentary on the same issue.
Pass a canonical public article or liveblog-entry URL to /timesofisrael/article and use /timesofisrael/author for the named contributor when available. The publisher's live updates use individual /liveblog_entry/ pages; collect those entries as timestamped event updates and keep the parent liveblog and entry URLs linked. Attribute security and diplomatic claims to the source that made them.
FAQ
Yes. Use the Jewish world or diaspora-oriented sections where available, then verify the country and community in the article. Do not label a story as an Israeli domestic event simply because the publisher is based in Israel.
Keep the article's publication and update timestamps, quoted speaker, URL, and original wording. Recheck later reporting before presenting an early claim as settled; related updates should form a traceable timeline.
Yes. The Times of Israel publishes individual entries at /liveblog_entry/<slug>/ in addition to live-update pages. Preserve each entry's own timestamp and link it to the parent event stream so incremental updates remain ordered.
