How to use NDTV endpoints

NDTV is an Indian national news brand with dedicated business, cricket, technology and entertainment coverage alongside its general news desk. Use the section directory for desk-based headlines; /ndtv/search is a separate topic-story search that requires a 1–120 character query and supports pages 1–100, with up to 15 cards and no sort or filter controls. /ndtv/live-blogs accepts pages 1–100 but provides no total or continuation flag; /ndtv/live-blog instead requires a canonical URL whose structured data is LiveBlogPosting and returns ordered updates. Video coverage is separate: /ndtv/video-categories lists the allowed category values, /ndtv/videos takes a required category and page, and /ndtv/latest-videos is its own page feed rather than a category. Those video routes return metadata cards, not media bytes. NDTV also labels Premium material, so record that status instead of treating a short public excerpt as a complete article.

Step 1
Choose the desk before collecting
Read /ndtv/sections and select a returned slug for /ndtv/headlines. A cricket or business study should use that desk rather than infer a topic from the general feed. Keep the section URL with each result so the editorial origin remains auditable.
Step 2
Catch the newest stories
Use /ndtv/news for the recent public news sitemap. Its title, canonical URL and publication time help build a chronological queue; compare it with a section feed when a story crosses several desks.
Step 3
Resolve article and byline context
Send the canonical URL to /ndtv/article, save its premium flag, and store only the paragraphs the public page serves. For a named writer or news agency, /ndtv/author adds the public byline profile and its recent stories.
Step 4
Separate topic search, live blogs, and video feeds
Use /ndtv/search for query-based news cards, not the page's Videos, Photos, or Web Stories tabs. Request /ndtv/live-blogs by page for NDTV-hosted live-blog listings; use /ndtv/live-blog with a canonical LiveBlogPosting URL to retrieve its ordered updates. Discover the 16 supported video categories before requesting /ndtv/videos; /ndtv/latest-videos has a separate 1–100 page window and returns metadata only, not playable media.
Step 5
Author articles use published_on
On 2026-10-30 an NDTV author page returned 15 articles whose timestamp field is published_on and which carry a section, india headlines returned 20 items with published_at, and latest-videos returned 12 items with duration.
