How to use NBC News endpoints

NBC News sits inside Comcast's NBCUniversal, which kept the broadcast news division when it spun its cable networks, including CNBC and MS NOW (formerly MSNBC), off into Versant in January 2026. NBC News publishes seven RSS sections, and its site-wide feed isn't recency-capped the way you'd expect: a 2026-09-24 pull mixed same-day breaking news with evergreen Select shopping posts dated years apart. These endpoints cover sections, that feed, per-section headlines, articles, and author pages.

Step 1
Choose among 7 section slugs
Call /nbc/sections for the seven RSS slugs /nbc/headlines accepts — news, world, us-news, politics, business, science, and health.
Step 2
Treat 20 rows as 42 hours of news
Call /nbc/news for NBC's public feed. A 2026-09-24 pull returned 23 items, mostly same-day politics and world stories, but also a Select shopping post on mouse traps dated 2025-09-02 and an Amazon Prime benefits roundup dated all the way back to 2021 — evergreen commerce content sits in the same feed as breaking news.
Step 3
Page news for 20 headlines
Pass a slug from /nbc/sections to /nbc/headlines. Scoped to science on the same pull, it returned 24 items spanning nearly three months, not capped to the last few days the way the site-wide feed's breaking items are.
Step 4
Use the rcna id in NBC News URLs
Pass an nbcnews.com URL containing an -rcna<number> id to /nbc/article for metadata and body paragraphs. The paragraphs come from the story body itself: a 2026-09-24 pull of a politics story on the White House press-access ruling returned 46 paragraphs, while a Select gift guide returned 44.
Step 5
Read an author page via /author/<slug>
Pass a full canonical nbcnews.com/author/ URL, including its numeric -ncpn suffix, to /nbc/author for job details, bio, social links, and recent articles. A guessed URL without that suffix failed outright, naming the required pattern; the correct URL returned a populated bio and recent bylines.
