How to use Cleveland.com endpoints

Cleveland.com is Advance Local's Cleveland-area news and sports publication. A live /clevelandcom/news response on 2026-10-14 contained 50 feed cards; refresh it before scheduling because publisher feeds change. Use the top-stories feed for broad monitoring, then classify returned canonical URLs and summaries by their actual Cleveland or Ohio subject. Sports, news, and advice paths appear in the sampled feed, but they do not define a supported section filter list. The available feed is a bounded top-stories snapshot of 50 items. Descriptions are teasers, and neither the article page nor homepage was reliably accessible during route checks; only the news feed is promised. Use the endpoint cards for this integration's accepted inputs.

Step 1
Collect the top-stories snapshot
A live /clevelandcom/news response on 2026-10-14 contained 50 feed cards; refresh it before scheduling because publisher feeds change. Use the top-stories feed for broad monitoring, then classify returned canonical URLs and summaries by their actual Cleveland or Ohio subject. Sports, news, and advice paths appear in the sampled feed, but they do not define a supported section filter list.
Step 2
Classify by URL path after collection, not as a filter
Use the 50-card top-stories response as a current snapshot, not a queryable Cleveland archive. The observed sports and advice paths help classify cards after collection, but callers cannot pass them as filters; preserve the returned URL and avoid claiming a complete local-news history.
