Wall Street Journal API endpoint

Wall Street Journal article content API

Returns one Wall Street Journal article's title, byline, publication time, word count, and body paragraphs, recovered from a public web-archive snapshot of the article. WSJ serves only the first paragraphs of premium articles at the origin, so an article is returned only when a full-text archive snapshot exists; an article without one returns 404.

How this endpoint behaves

Query parameter: required url, a canonical Wall Street Journal article URL (e.g. https://www.wsj.com/articles/cpi-inflation-report-july-2026-6381275d). Query strings and fragments are stripped; the URL is canonicalized to https://www.wsj.com.

Returns one Wall Street Journal article — title, author, published_at, archive_url, archive_timestamp, word_count, and the body paragraphs in order — recovered from a public web-archive snapshot of the article.

Behavior:

WSJ serves only the first paragraphs of a premium article at the origin, so the body is read from an existing full-text archive snapshot rather than from wsj.com directly. No WSJ cookies, login state, or subscription are used.
An article with no archive snapshot returns 404. A snapshot that exists but carries no article body (an empty capture, or a bot-blocked page) returns 503 rather than a hollow success.
Non-article URLs and non-WSJ hosts return 400 before any upstream request.
Coverage is partial: only articles a reader has archived in full can be returned, so the same URL may succeed later once a snapshot exists.
