How to use HuffPost endpoints

Crawlora's HuffPost endpoints read huffpost.com and return JSON for articles, contributor profiles, section headlines, and top stories across 40 sections — from hard-news verticals like U.S. News, World News, Politics, and Crime to HuffPost's seven Voices sub-sections (Black, Queer, Latino, Indigenous, Asian, Women's, and Disabled Voices) and lifestyle sections like Wellness, Money, and Home & Living. A September 24 politics story on a Trump-endorsed candidate's family deportation case was updated 53 minutes after publishing, and both published_at and updated_at are returned so you can catch the revision.

Step 1
Pull news: 10 rows without timestamps
/huffpost/headlines accepts a section slug drawn from /huffpost/sections — news, news/politics, entertainment/celebrity, life/wellness, voices/black-voices, and 35 others — and returns each item's title, image_url, and URL.
Step 2
Parse a 31-paragraph body
/huffpost/article returns title, authors, section, image_url, a short description, published_at, updated_at, and the body as paragraphs. A politics story can carry a 53-minute gap between the two timestamps when HuffPost revises it post-publication.
Step 3
Look up a writer by profile URL
/huffpost/author returns the writer's name, job title (e.g. 'Evening Trends Reporter'), headshot, biography, social links, and recent articles — some staff bios note prior reporting experience at a sibling outlet in HuffPost's editorial network rather than only HuffPost itself.
Step 4
Read a 95-row strip without usable timestamps
/huffpost/news returns HuffPost's current homepage mix across every section, from political coverage to its affiliate Shopping picks, without a section filter.
