How to use The National endpoints

The National is UAE and Gulf reporting with wider Middle East, international, business, energy, money, property, and banking desks. A live /national/sections response on 2026-10-14 contained 57 section records; refresh it before scheduling because publisher feeds change. Select the returned RSS section slug that matches the monitoring question—for example UAE, Gulf, MENA, economy, energy, or property—and preserve it with each headline result. Use canonical article URLs and author profile/archive slugs when following a story or contributor. Article bodies reflect anonymous accessible page content; a route does not imply premium access. The publisher says its feeds are for personal use and its terms reserve reproduction without written consent, so keep downstream use within those terms. Use the endpoint cards for this integration's accepted inputs.

1. Step 1

   Choose the RSS section slug that matches the question

   A live /national/sections response on 2026-10-14 contained 57 section records; refresh it before scheduling because publisher feeds change. Select the returned RSS section slug that matches the monitoring question—for example UAE, Gulf, MENA, economy, energy, or property—and preserve it with each headline result. Use canonical article URLs and author profile/archive slugs when following a story or contributor.

2. Step 2

   Respect the personal-use feed terms

   Use the publisher's personal RSS options to narrow recurring collections at the source, while respecting the API's exposed section set. The site's reproduction terms apply to collected content; returned public text should remain linked to its original story.

3. Step 3

   Preserve the slug with each headline

   Use the publisher's personal RSS options to narrow recurring collections at the source, while respecting the API's exposed section set. The site's reproduction terms apply to collected content; returned public text should remain linked to its original story. Pass only a value returned by /national/sections and accepted by /national/headlines; preserve the selected desk with its results.

4. Step 4

   Remember that anonymous access is not premium access

   Article bodies reflect anonymous accessible page content; a route does not imply premium access. The publisher says its feeds are for personal use and its terms reserve reproduction without written consent, so keep downstream use within those 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

   Use canonical author URLs

   Select the returned RSS section slug that matches the monitoring question—for example UAE, Gulf, MENA, economy, energy, or property—and preserve it with each headline result. Use canonical article URLs and author profile/archive slugs when following a story or contributor. Article bodies reflect anonymous accessible page content; a route does not imply premium access. The publisher says its feeds are for personal use and its terms reserve reproduction without written consent, so keep downstream use within those terms.
