Managed execution
Every figure below is read from the live ZDNet endpoint catalog — 5 endpoints, 10 documented request parameters, and 5 published response schemas — the same catalog Docs and Playground run against.
5 documented ZDNet endpoints, grouped into 5 request families — Article, Author and Headlines, plus 2 more.
10 request parameters are documented across those ZDNet endpoints, 7 of them required — the full input contract is public before you write any integration code.
5 of the 5 ZDNet endpoints ship a recorded example response, and 5 carry a documented response schema — you can code against the real JSON before the first request.
ZDNet 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 ZDNet endpoints, so an agent can call the same routes with the same parameters and the same JSON contract, with no custom glue.

Endpoint catalog
/zdnet/articleReturns one ZDNet article, review or how-to by its canonical `zdnet.com` `url`. The response has the title, description, published and updated times, section labels, authors, lead image and body `paragraphs`. Video, topic and author pages are not supported and return an error instead of an empty article.
MCP tool zdnet_article
/zdnet/authorReturns one ZDNet author's public profile: name, role, biography, education, areas of expertise, join date, article count, and one page of their recent articles.
MCP tool zdnet_author
/zdnet/headlinesLists fresh ZDNet headlines for one topic or content type. `section` is required and takes a slug such as `artificial-intelligence`, `security`, `smartphones`, `vpn`, `how-to` or `news`; `zdnet-sections` lists all of them. Video pages are dropped, and an invalid value returns a 400 error.
MCP tool zdnet_headlines
/zdnet/newsReturns the latest ZDNet top stories with no parameters. Each item has its title, canonical URL, summary, publication time and author name when available. Video pages are not included.
MCP tool zdnet_news
/zdnet/sectionsLists the ZDNet topic and content-type sections accepted by `zdnet-headlines`, such as `artificial-intelligence`, `security`, `smartphones`, `vpn`, `how-to` and `deals`. Each has a `slug`, a display `name` and a feed `url`. Takes no parameters.

How to scrape ZDNet
ZDNet is Ziff Davis's business-technology publication, covering enterprise IT, security, cloud, artificial intelligence, devices, and professional guidance. Its audience differs from consumer gadget sites: an AI deployment analysis, security advisory, and laptop buying recommendation answer different business questions. Preserve the technology domain, enterprise use case, and article format before counting vendor mentions or extracting purchasing advice.
Call /zdnet/sections to inspect the publisher's current taxonomy. Map security, cloud, AI, business, and device coverage before collecting. A vulnerability report should not be mixed with a general AI opinion piece.
Use /zdnet/headlines for a selected section and /zdnet/news for the broader current stream. Take category headline snapshots and tag news, analysis, how-to, and buying advice. Vendor announcements need their stated source and date retained.
Pass a canonical public URL to /zdnet/article and use /zdnet/author for the named contributor when available. Fetch the article and public contributor profile for product versions, affected systems, and cited organizations. Validate any operational guidance against primary vendor documentation.
FAQ
Yes. Start with security coverage and keep the affected product, version, date, and cited advisory from each article. An editorial summary helps discovery, while the original vendor or agency notice should anchor action.
Attribute performance or capability statements to the publisher, vendor, or quoted source as appropriate. Keep the article's date and enterprise use case, since AI service features and availability can change quickly.
