PCMag API endpoint

PCMag article API

Returns a PCMag article or product review by canonical `pcmag.com` `url`, such as `/news/<slug>` or `/reviews/<slug>`. The response has title, description, publication time, section label, authors, lead image and body `paragraphs`. Hub pages, author pages and pages without a readable body return an upstream error.

How this endpoint behaves

Query parameter: url is a canonical HTTPS pcmag.com article or product-review URL, for example https://www.pcmag.com/news/<slug> or https://www.pcmag.com/reviews/<slug>. Returns public metadata (title, description, publication time, section label, authors, lead image) and the article body paragraphs.

PCMag articles and reviews are freely readable, with no subscription wall. Accepted URL shapes are /news/, /reviews/, /picks/, /how-to/, /explainers/, /comparisons/, /articles/, /deals/, and /opinions/. Category hub pages, author profile pages, and any page without a readable article body are returned as an upstream error rather than an empty article.
