Managed execution
How Crawlora handles this platform
Every figure below is read from the live CTV News endpoint catalog — 5 endpoints, 8 documented request parameters, and 5 published response schemas — the same catalog Docs and Playground run against.
Documented endpoint coverage
5 documented CTV News endpoints, grouped into 5 request families — Article, Author and Headlines, plus 2 more.
Published request surface
8 request parameters are documented across those CTV News endpoints, 8 of them required — the full input contract is public before you write any integration code.
Known response shape
5 of the 5 CTV News endpoints ship a recorded example response, and 5 carry a documented response schema — you can code against the real JSON before the first request.
Documented failure modes
CTV News endpoints document their error responses (400, 404, 429 and 503) alongside the success schema, so a block, a rate limit, or a missing record comes back as a typed error rather than silently empty data.
Agent-callable MCP tools
5 hosted MCP tools back the CTV News endpoints, so an agent can call the same routes with the same parameters and the same JSON contract, with no custom glue.

How to scrape CTV News
Extract CTV News data in 6 steps
CTV's local editions make it practical to preserve city or province context while also collecting Canada-wide coverage. CTV combines national categories with local editions, so a city story should retain its edition before it is aggregated with Canada-wide reporting. Its 2026-09-26 Canada feed included a Brampton jewelry theft and a ChatGPT-related report; the two should not be grouped solely because they share a top-level feed. For a regional watch, start with the local edition, save the city or province label, publication time, and article URL, and then check whether a national version adds new reporting. A pull on 2026-10-27 listed 27 sections; barrie returned 97 stories across eleven months, and the news route returned 93 stories from four hours with images only.
- Step 1
Split national topics from local newsrooms
The sections route lists 27 slugs: 12 national topics such as canada, politics and sci-tech, and 15 local newsrooms such as toronto, calgary and atlantic.
- Step 2
Read the section page as a list
Section calls return the stories listed on a public section page, newest first, with headline, summary, byline, publication time and image. The news route reads the public news sitemap and covers about the last 24 hours.
- Step 3
Pass article pages only
Article calls take https://www.ctvnews.ca/<section>/article/<slug>/. Video, photo-gallery and live-stream pages are not article pages.
- Step 4
Collect byline profiles
The author route takes a canonical author URL and returns name, role, biography, photo, public contact address and recent stories.
- Step 5
Size regional feeds
barrie returned 97 stories from 2025-12-01 to 2026-10-27 with bylines on all, while canada returned 18 across about nine hours (2026-10-26 18:19 UTC onward).
- Step 6
Do not use the news route for text fields
The news route returned 93 stories from 2026-10-27 00:07 to 04:01 with images but no byline or summary.
