How to use The Express Tribune endpoints

The Express Tribune is Pakistan-focused English-language newspaper covering national affairs, cities, business, world news, sport, opinion, lifestyle, and technology. A live /expresstribune/sections response on 2026-10-14 contained 33 section records; refresh it before scheduling because publisher feeds change. Use the publisher's feed directory or returned section list to choose a beat such as Pakistan, Karachi, Business, World, or Cricket. Keep canonical tribune.com.pk story URLs for article and author calls; a sampled author archive supports page-number navigation. Article and author routes are supported, and the author archive uses one-based pages. Alternate webdesk.tribune.com.pk aliases failed validation; use the canonical Tribune host and respect its copyright terms. Use the endpoint cards for this integration's accepted inputs.

1. Step 1

   Choose a beat from the feed directory or section list

   A live /expresstribune/sections response on 2026-10-14 contained 33 section records; refresh it before scheduling because publisher feeds change. Use the publisher's feed directory or returned section list to choose a beat such as Pakistan, Karachi, Business, World, or Cricket. Keep canonical tribune.com.pk story URLs for article and author calls; a sampled author archive supports page-number navigation.

2. Step 2

   Use canonical tribune.com.pk URLs only

   Use tribune.com.pk canonical URLs consistently; the alternate webdesk host did not validate. Author archives use one-based page values, so begin at page 1 and preserve the requested page with each result when continuing a contributor collection.

3. Step 3

   Keep the beat label with each snapshot

   Use tribune.com.pk canonical URLs consistently; the alternate webdesk host did not validate. Author archives use one-based page values, so begin at page 1 and preserve the requested page with each result when continuing a contributor collection. Pass only a value returned by /expresstribune/sections and accepted by /expresstribune/headlines; preserve the selected desk with its results.

4. Step 4

   Respect the copyright terms on returned text

   Article and author routes are supported, and the author archive uses one-based pages. Alternate webdesk.tribune.com.pk aliases failed validation; use the canonical Tribune host and respect its copyright terms. Keep teaser, truncation, premium, or access fields beside the canonical URL so downstream users can see what the publisher actually returned.

5. Step 5

   Page author archives from page one

   Use the publisher's feed directory or returned section list to choose a beat such as Pakistan, Karachi, Business, World, or Cricket. Keep canonical tribune.com.pk story URLs for article and author calls; a sampled author archive supports page-number navigation. Article and author routes are supported, and the author archive uses one-based pages. Alternate webdesk.tribune.com.pk aliases failed validation; use the canonical Tribune host and respect its copyright terms.
