How to use How-To Geek endpoints
How-To Geek is Valnet's practical technology publication, explaining technical problems, software, devices, and product decisions in approachable terms. A live /howtogeek/news response on 2026-10-14 contained 10 feed cards; refresh it before scheduling because publisher feeds change. Use the all-stories feed as a source of publisher summaries and canonical links, then retain the headline and date for triage. The publisher's hardware, operating-system, software, mobile, streaming, review, and buying-guide desks are editorial context only: this API integration intentionally offers one feed rather than a closed set of section filters. Only the /news feed is registered. Its summaries are teasers; there are no sections, by-section headlines, article-body, or author operations in the generated catalog. Use the endpoint cards for this integration's accepted inputs.

- Step 2
Keep the publisher's desks as labels, not filters
How-To Geek describes its work as approachable help for technical problems, product understanding, and gadget decisions; its current navigation separates news, hardware, operating systems, software, mobile, new technology, streaming, reviews, and buying guides. This integration is intentionally a single story feed. Those desks may help downstream labeling, but they are not supported Crawlora filters; use the returned summary and link to decide which explainers need a separate review.
