Managed Execution
Jede Zahl unten stammt direkt aus dem Live-USA Today-Endpunktkatalog — 5 Endpunkte, 8 dokumentierte Request-Parameter und 5 veröffentlichte Response-Schemas — demselben Katalog, gegen den auch Docs und Playground laufen.
5 documented USA Today endpoints, grouped into 5 request families — Article, Author and Headlines, plus 2 more.
8 request parameters are documented across those USA Today endpoints, 8 of them required — the full input contract is public before you write any integration code.
5 of the 5 USA Today endpoints ship a recorded example response, and 5 carry a documented response schema — you can code against the real JSON before the first request.
USA Today 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 USA Today endpoints, so an agent can call the same routes with the same parameters and the same JSON contract, with no custom glue.

So scrapst du USA Today
Crawlora's USA Today endpoints read usatoday.com and return JSON for articles, staff profiles, section headlines, and the paper's national top-stories feed across all 13 of its sections — News, Sports, Entertainment, Life, Money, Tech, Travel, Opinion, Cars, Shopping, Weather, Politics, and Grocery. USA Today revises stories heavily after publication: a Sept. 22 MLB playoff-picture story pulled live on 2026-09-24 still carried a published_at nearly two days earlier than its updated_at, a gap the API surfaces on every article and headline. A second pull on 2026-10-27 re-checked the 13-slug section list and the cross-section feed.
/usatoday/sections returns all 13 top-level sections with their name, slug, and canonical usatoday.com URL.
/usatoday/headlines takes one of those 13 slugs — sports, tech, money, and so on — and returns the newest items filed under it, each with title, url, image_url, published_at, and updated_at.
On 2026-10-30 a politics URL taken from the news section's headlines answered 404 USA Today article not found from /usatoday/article, so one dead URL should skip that item instead of failing the batch. Articles that do open return authors[], is_accessible_for_free, paragraphs[], published_at, section, title and updated_at.
/usatoday/author reads a canonical staff page and returns the writer's name, bio, social accounts, and recent articles.
/usatoday/news is the paper's site-wide top-stories feed, mixing national news, sports, and entertainment, each carrying both published_at and updated_at so you can detect revisions.
The sections route listed 13 slugs (news, sports, entertainment, life, money, tech, travel, opinion, cars, shopping, weather, politics, grocery). On 2026-10-30 news returned 91 rows from 2026-10-28 09:05 to 2026-10-30 01:27 UTC and sports returned 100 rows from 2026-10-28 19:14 to 2026-10-30 05:02 UTC, 65 of them also in the 100-row cross-section strip, so de-duplicate by URL.
/usatoday/news returned 100 rows from 2026-10-28 19:14 to 2026-10-30 05:02 UTC with an image on 98 and no byline or summary on any, and published_at values carry nanoseconds such as 2026-10-30T05:02:33.318454005Z. Parse them as RFC 3339 with fractional seconds and take bylines from the article route.
Agent Skills
Installiere einen Crawlora Agent Skill, und dein Agent ruft USA Today-Daten als JSON über die dokumentierte API ab, ohne einen Scraper zu schreiben. Diese Skills decken USA Today ab:

npx skills add github.com/Crawlora-org/crawlora-skills --skill news-media-researchFAQ
USA Today revises stories — especially sports and breaking news — well after they first go live. One playoff-picture story kept its original published_at from two days earlier while updated_at reflected a same-morning revision, and this pattern shows up across most headline items, not just articles.
Any of the 13 returned by /usatoday/sections: news, sports, entertainment, life, money, tech, travel, opinion, cars, shopping, weather, politics, and grocery.
Yes. /usatoday/article returns an is_accessible_for_free boolean alongside the body, so you can tell free stories apart from subscriber-only ones before processing the paragraphs.
Pulling the sports section returned stories published within the same hour as the request, alongside injury-report items updated multiple times per day during the NFL season.
