-H "x-api-key: $CRAWLORA_API_KEY"Entertainment Weekly's topic structure is useful for a content-recommendation or awards research pipeline that needs to preserve editorial intent. What to Watch, Binge, The Awardist, books, theatre, TV, movies, music, and celebrities are distinct editorial destinations. Use The Awardist for awards-season reporting and What to Watch for recommendations rather than mixing either with a straight casting announcement. Keep the title or performer, section, publication date, byline, and article URL with each result. This makes it possible to distinguish a timely release update from an evergreen viewing guide that remains prominent in the feed. On 2026-10-27 the 9 section slugs returned very uneven feeds: tv held 67 items while binge held 2.
The sections route lists tv, movies, music, what-to-watch, binge, celebrity, awardist, books and theater. The headlines route accepts only those values, so scope a monitor by one of them.
Headline and top-story items carry a title and URL, plus an image when the card shows one. There is no summary or timestamp, so fetch the article when you need a date or a byline.
Article calls take a canonical URL in the form ew.com/<slug>-<id> and return title, description, publish and update times, section, authors, lead image, body paragraphs and a paywalled flag. Blocked or malformed pages come back as errors.
The author route takes a canonical author URL and returns the contributor's name, job title, biography and recent articles.
The tv section returned 67 items and binge returned 2 on 2026-10-27, so one polling interval does not fit every slug. The sampled rows carried only title, URL and image, with no publication time or summary, so date a story by fetching the article instead of trusting the feed order.
