How to use Boston Globe endpoints
Boston Globe is Boston Globe reporting across Massachusetts and New England, including local, investigative, Metro, politics, business, sports, arts, and regional coverage. A live /bostonglobe/news response on 2026-10-14 contained 99 feed cards; refresh it before scheduling because publisher feeds change. Treat the site-wide feed as a cross-desk stream and retain its byline, date, summary, and link when routing stories into a research queue. The Globe's own staff directory and newsroom desks can help classify results downstream; they are not API section parameters. Only the site-wide RSS listing is registered. Crawlora returns its descriptions rather than the feed's encoded body; some story pages require a subscription. No sections, article-body, or author route is exposed. Use the endpoint cards for this integration's accepted inputs.
- Step 1
Use the site-wide RSS listing as a triage stream
A live /bostonglobe/news response on 2026-10-14 contained 99 feed cards; refresh it before scheduling because publisher feeds change. Treat the site-wide feed as a cross-desk stream and retain its byline, date, summary, and link when routing stories into a research queue. The Globe's own staff directory and newsroom desks can help classify results downstream; they are not API section parameters.
- Step 2
Save headline, byline, timestamp and link, then open pages separately
Treat this as a low-bandwidth discovery source: the registered call returns one site-wide RSS listing and Crawlora exposes descriptions, not the encoded feed body. Save headline, byline, timestamp, and canonical link for triage; open the publisher page separately when subscription access permits.
