How to use Android Police endpoints

Android Police is Valnet's Android and consumer-technology publication, spanning phones, tablets, apps, operating systems, wearables, smart home, carriers, and deals. A live /androidpolice/sections response on 2026-10-14 contained 18 section records; refresh it before scheduling because publisher feeds change. Start from the site's returned section slugs, then keep a device or software family alongside each headline. This distinguishes reporting and explainers from shopping coverage; use the canonical story URL when opening a result and the canonical contributor profile URL for author history. Article bodies and person profile pages were verified. Author results are the first profile page only; the author route has no paging input. Dynamic tags and search are not accepted section filters. Use the endpoint cards for this integration's accepted inputs.

1. Step 1

   Start from the returned section slugs

   A live /androidpolice/sections response on 2026-10-14 contained 18 section records; refresh it before scheduling because publisher feeds change. Start from the site's returned section slugs, then keep a device or software family alongside each headline. This distinguishes reporting and explainers from shopping coverage; use the canonical story URL when opening a result and the canonical contributor profile URL for author history.

2. Step 2

   Label reviews, platform changes, apps and deals separately

   Keep device reviews, Android platform changes, app coverage, and deals in separate downstream labels even when they arrive in the same headline stream. The author call resolves a public contributor profile and its first page only, so save that response as a profile snapshot rather than assuming an archive cursor exists.

3. Step 3

   Keep the device or software family beside each headline

   Keep device reviews, Android platform changes, app coverage, and deals in separate downstream labels even when they arrive in the same headline stream. The author call resolves a public contributor profile and its first page only, so save that response as a profile snapshot rather than assuming an archive cursor exists. Pass only a value returned by /androidpolice/sections and accepted by /androidpolice/headlines; preserve the selected desk with its results.

4. Step 4

   Use verified article bodies and profile pages

   Article bodies and person profile pages were verified. Author results are the first profile page only; the author route has no paging input. Dynamic tags and search are not accepted section filters. Keep teaser, truncation, premium, or access fields beside the canonical URL so downstream users can see what the publisher actually returned.

5. Step 5

   Snapshot the first profile page only

   Start from the site's returned section slugs, then keep a device or software family alongside each headline. This distinguishes reporting and explainers from shopping coverage; use the canonical story URL when opening a result and the canonical contributor profile URL for author history. Article bodies and person profile pages were verified. Author results are the first profile page only; the author route has no paging input. Dynamic tags and search are not accepted section filters.
