Managed execution
How Crawlora handles this platform
Every figure below is read from the live Daily Express 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 Daily Express endpoints, grouped into 5 request families — Article, Author and Headlines, plus 2 more.
Published request surface
8 request parameters are documented across those Daily Express endpoints, 8 of them required — the full input contract is public before you write any integration code.
Known response shape
5 of the 5 Daily Express 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
Daily Express endpoints document their error responses (400, 404 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 Daily Express 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 Daily Express
Extract Daily Express data in 4 steps
The Royal section functions as the Daily Express's de facto front page: on 2026-09-22 its ten latest headlines were all Meghan Markle, Prince Harry, or Earl Spencer's Diana memoir, and its lead story — Meghan spotted at an Oxfordshire pub with Ellen DeGeneres, filed at 05:28 UTC — was also the top item on the site-wide feed. Crawlora's four endpoints return the Express's 29 RSS-backed sections, that feed, and individual articles as normalized JSON.
- Step 1
Choose among 29 section slugs
/dailyexpress/sections returns the full 29-slug list /dailyexpress/headlines accepts — from News, Royal, and Politics through History, Weird, and Obituaries — each backed by a real RSS feed discovered from the Express's own feed-directory page.
- Step 2
Use the 10-row strip for freshness
/dailyexpress/news reads the Express's public RSS feed. Its 2026-09-22 lead — the Meghan/Ellen pub story — published at 05:28 UTC and was revised at 05:41, 13 minutes later.
- Step 3
Open news and expect 10 rows
Pass a slug from /dailyexpress/sections to /dailyexpress/headlines. The royal section returned 10 current headlines on 2026-09-22, its own top item duplicating the site-wide feed's lead — a sign of how much one royal story can dominate a news day.
- Step 4
Budget 3,100 characters per article
Pass a canonical numeric-id URL to /dailyexpress/article for title, author, and body paragraphs. The Meghan/Ellen piece above, bylined Rebecca Perring, carried an updated_at 13 minutes after its published_at.

FAQ
Scraping Daily Express: common questions
How many sections does the Daily Express expose?
29, the largest section inventory of any Crawlora news platform — spanning hard news (uk, world, politics), sport (football, tennis, formula-1), and lifestyle (travel, property, cars) — call /dailyexpress/sections for the live list.
Are Daily Express sections RSS-backed?
Yes. Every section slug the Daily Express exposes is discovered from its own public feed-directory page and backed by a real RSS feed, not a page-scrape fallback.
What identifies a valid Daily Express article URL?
The URL must end in a numeric article id, the format the Express assigns each published article, for example express.co.uk/news/2250563/meghan-markle-Ellen-DeGeneres-pictures-pub.
Is a Daily Express subscription required?
No. These endpoints read the Daily Express's public RSS feeds and article pages — no login or subscription is bypassed. Crawlora API authentication still applies.
Why does the Royal section sometimes repeat the site-wide feed's top story?
Because /dailyexpress/news reads the same RSS pool the Royal section draws from, so on days when royal coverage dominates — like 2026-09-22, when all ten Royal headlines concerned Meghan Markle, Harry, or Earl Spencer's Diana memoir — the two feeds' lead items can match exactly.
