How to use GB News endpoints

Use GB News public article, headline, section, and author data while retaining the outlet's supplied category and editorial context. Its presenter roster and opinion coverage make presenter-led commentary a meaningful source label for UK political-media research; do not collapse a presenter column or broadcast clip into a straight news report. Start with headlines to discover fresh items, narrow to an API-supported section, then read the public article page before extracting a claim. Store the byline, timestamp, original section, and canonical URL so later reviewers can inspect the outlet's framing. The sections route returned 390 slugs on 2026-10-27, far more than a normal news site, because topic tags such as news/animals, news/army and news/benefit-fraudsters are listed beside real sections.

Step 1
Navigate a 390-entry path taxonomy
The sections route lists 390 sections and topics. A slug is the site path, such as news/uk/scotland, news/uk/london, news/world/china, news/world/ukraine, news/us or news/migrant-crisis, so regional and topical pulls are both available.
Step 2
Know the 30-story top list
The news route returns the latest 30 top stories with the first paragraph as the summary, publication time, author name and lead image. Section pulls return the latest headlines for the path you pass.
Step 3
Read news, opinion and sport as one article form
Article calls take a gbnews.com URL (news, opinion or sport; query strings are ignored) and return title, description, publish and update times, section label, authors, lead image and body paragraphs without captions or widgets.
Step 4
Remember the author window
The author route returns a profile with name, role, biography, image and the most recent stories, up to 24. Older stories are not available.
Step 5
Treat the 390 slugs as a tag inventory
The list mixes broad sections (news) with narrow tags (news/benefit-fraudsters, news/best-of-britain, news/christianity, news/crime, news/defence). Store the slug that produced a story, because one story can appear under several tags.
Step 6
Compare broad and niche cadence
The news section returned 29 stories between 2026-10-26 09:41 UTC and 2026-10-27 00:28, the same 29 as the news route, while the royal section returned 30 stories reaching back to 2026-10-22. Each story had a byline, summary and image.
