How to use The Globe and Mail endpoints

Crawlora's Globe and Mail endpoints read theglobeandmail.com and return JSON for section headlines, reporter profiles, and article metadata across 12 sections: Canada, World, Business, Investing, Personal Finance, Politics, Opinion, Culture, Sports, Life, Real Estate, and Drive. The Globe and Mail paywalls most of its reporting — three different Drive reviews and explainers pulled from the September 23 feed each returned a clean 'requires a subscription' response rather than a truncated or fabricated body, so a scraper can detect gated content directly instead of parsing for a paywall banner.

Step 1
Page canada for 87 headlines
/globeandmail/headlines accepts canada, world, business, investing, personal-finance, politics, opinion, culture, sports, life, real-estate, or drive and returns each item's title, URL, summary, author, publication time, and lead image — the Drive feed alone carried 14 bylined reviews and explainers from Mark Richardson, Petrina Gentile, and five other regular contributors over a two-week span.
Step 2
Poll a 97-story strip covering 10 days
/globeandmail/news returns the current front-page mix across all sections with the same title/summary/author/image shape as a section feed.
Step 3
Expect permission errors on subscriber stories
/globeandmail/article takes a canonical article URL and returns the full body for free content; for subscriber-only stories it returns an explicit permission error instead of a partial or fabricated body, so your code can branch on that response rather than parsing page markup for a paywall.
Step 4
Fetch an author page for a named writer
/globeandmail/author takes a canonical reporter URL and returns name, job title, location, biography, headshot, contact and social links, and recent articles.
Step 5
Section feeds can be large
On 2026-10-30 canada headlines returned 87 items and the news route 97, both with author, summary and published_at, and an author record returned job title, location, an email field, biography and 20 articles.
