How to use Mint endpoints

Mint is an HT Media business publication that began through an exclusive Wall Street Journal collaboration. Its public sections cover companies, money, markets, policy, technology, AI, insurance, Budget, elections, and opinion. Use Markets for trading and company developments, or Money and Insurance for consumer finance, to avoid combining investor and household audiences in the same dataset. On 2026-10-27 the sections route listed 15 slugs, and each feed returned 35 stories with a summary and image but no byline. A second pull on 2026-10-27 re-checked the 15-slug section list and the cross-section feed.

Step 1
Choose among 15 slugs
The sections route lists 15 slugs, such as companies, markets, money, budget, ai and videos.
Step 2
Expect optional headline fields
Items have a title and URL and may include summary, author, publication time and image.
Step 3
Handle Mint Premium
A story Mint marks Mint Premium returns a permission error instead of a body. Treat it as an access outcome.
Step 4
Pass the /authors/ URL
The author route requires a https://www.livemint.com/authors/<slug> URL and returns name, job title, biography, image and Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn and Instagram links, each present only when the profile has it.
Step 5
Compare a lead beat with a slower one
companies returned 35 stories from 2026-10-25 18:07 UTC to 2026-10-27 01:55, about 32 hours, and sports returned 35 from 2026-10-24 21:23 to 2026-10-27 00:59. The news route returned 35 over roughly 19 hours from 2026-10-26 06:52.
Step 6
Join articles for credit lines
No sampled row had an author, so fetch the article or author route when bylines matter. Slugs include companies, opinion, money, politics, science, industry, education and sports.
Step 7
Pick from 15 feeds, companies first
On 2026-10-27 the sections route listed 15 slugs, among them companies, opinion, money, politics, science, industry, education, sports. Pass a slug exactly as listed and store it beside every story, because one article can surface under several slugs.
Step 8
Treat 35 rows as 19 hours of news
The cross-section news route returned 35 stories from 2026-10-26 06:52 UTC to 2026-10-27 01:56 UTC, with bylines on none of 35, summaries on 35 of 35 and images on 35 of 35. Poll it for new items, then enrich them from a section feed.
