News media research

Search and read public news coverage from BBC, CNN, and The Guardian as normalized JSON, with outlet-native article, headline, live-story, and topic surfaces.

When to use this skill

  • Get the latest headlines for a section or topic.
  • Search an outlet for a story or article.
  • Read an article's public body and metadata.
  • Inspect a CNN or BBC live-story update stream.
  • Browse Guardian topic or section archives.

Setup

  • Get a Crawlora API key at crawlora.net.
  • export CRAWLORA_API_KEY=sk_your_key_here
  • Requests use x-api-key: $CRAWLORA_API_KEY against https://api.crawlora.net/api/v1.

How it works

  • BBC: use /bbc/headlines, /bbc/search, and /bbc/article; use /bbc/live for a canonical live page.
  • CNN: use /cnn/headlines and /cnn/article; use /cnn/live-story for chronological live updates.
  • Guardian: use /guardian/headlines, /guardian/article, and /guardian/topic for archives.

Use reference/endpoints.md for exact parameters.
