How to use The Next Web endpoints

The Next Web is TNW's technology newsroom, whose current section discovery spans ten editorial destinations. A live /thenextweb/sections response on 2026-10-14 contained 10 section records; refresh it before scheduling because publisher feeds change. Use the ten current navigation slugs from sections discovery rather than broader sitemap topics or the legacy tech archive. Headlines can be followed with canonical article URLs; author lookup accepts a profile URL or slug. Keep article and contributor records connected through their returned bylines. The source site has a Load More JSON path, but those paths are robots-disallowed and the API has no page parameter. Do not promise pagination; article and person-author pages were verified. Use the endpoint cards for this integration's accepted inputs.

Step 1
Use the ten current navigation slugs
A live /thenextweb/sections response on 2026-10-14 contained 10 section records; refresh it before scheduling because publisher feeds change. Use the ten current navigation slugs from sections discovery rather than broader sitemap topics or the legacy tech archive. Headlines can be followed with canonical article URLs; author lookup accepts a profile URL or slug. Keep article and contributor records connected through their returned bylines.
Step 2
Skip legacy archives and sitemap topics
TNW's first-party About page presents the publication around technology, and the live newsroom navigation provides the ten sections returned by discovery. Use those current slugs rather than legacy archive paths or sitemap topics. Although the publisher's own Load More endpoint exists, it is robots-disallowed and the Crawlora route has no page parameter; gather articles through the supported headline and canonical article routes.
Step 3
Follow headlines with canonical article URLs
TNW's first-party About page presents the publication around technology, and the live newsroom navigation provides the ten sections returned by discovery. Use those current slugs rather than legacy archive paths or sitemap topics. Although the publisher's own Load More endpoint exists, it is robots-disallowed and the Crawlora route has no page parameter; gather articles through the supported headline and canonical article routes. Pass only a value returned by /thenextweb/sections and accepted by /thenextweb/headlines; preserve the selected desk with its results.
Step 4
Pass canonical dated article URLs
The source site has a Load More JSON path, but those paths are robots-disallowed and the API has no page parameter. Do not promise pagination; article and person-author pages were verified. Keep teaser, truncation, premium, or access fields beside the canonical URL so downstream users can see what the publisher actually returned.
Step 5
Look up profile URLs
Use the ten current navigation slugs from sections discovery rather than broader sitemap topics or the legacy tech archive. Headlines can be followed with canonical article URLs; author lookup accepts a profile URL or slug. Keep article and contributor records connected through their returned bylines. The source site has a Load More JSON path, but those paths are robots-disallowed and the API has no page parameter. Do not promise pagination; article and person-author pages were verified.
