How to use Breitbart endpoints

Crawlora's Breitbart endpoints read breitbart.com and return JSON for articles, section headlines, and authors. Breitbart runs 21 sections skewed toward geography and politics — border, immigration, national-security, europe, middle-east, asia, latin-america — alongside tech, entertainment, and sports. The headlines feed is intentionally lean: it returns only title and url, with no date, summary, or image, so a full timestamp and byline require a follow-up call to /breitbart/article. On 2026-09-23 the tech section's 41 headlines mixed AI-policy coverage with general politics and culture stories filed under the same vertical.

1. Step 1

   Pick from 21 feeds, politics first

   /breitbart/sections returns all 21 sections — politics, economy, border, immigration, national-security, entertainment, sports, tech, the-media, radio, clips, faith, world-news, europe, middle-east, africa, asia, latin-america, america250, on-the-hill-exclusive-video, and news.

2. Step 2

   Read the politics section (41 rows)

   /breitbart/headlines takes a section slug and returns just title and url per item — no published_at, summary, or image. The tech section returned 41 live headlines on 2026-09-23, mixing AI-policy stories with general politics and culture pieces.

3. Step 3

   Open an article for full metadata

   /breitbart/article is where the real metadata lives: authors, description, image_url, a paragraphs array, section, and both published_at and updated_at. In practice, published_at and updated_at are frequently identical — Breitbart doesn't consistently re-timestamp edited stories.

4. Step 4

   Name-derived author URLs can 404

   /breitbart/author takes https://www.breitbart.com/author/<slug>/. Article authors[] are plain names; on 2026-10-30 the URL built from Jasmyn Jordan (/author/jasmyn-jordan/) answered 404 Breitbart author not found: jasmyn-jordan. Headline rows carry no timestamps, bylines or images (politics returned 40 rows with none), but the cross-section news route returned 49 stories with bylines and summaries and no images.
