Managed execution
Every figure below is read from the live Global News endpoint catalog — 5 endpoints, 8 documented request parameters, and 5 published response schemas — the same catalog Docs and Playground run against.
5 documented Global News endpoints, grouped into 5 request families — Article, Author and Headlines, plus 2 more.
8 request parameters are documented across those Global News endpoints, 8 of them required — the full input contract is public before you write any integration code.
5 of the 5 Global 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.
Global 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.
5 hosted MCP tools back the Global News endpoints, so an agent can call the same routes with the same parameters and the same JSON contract, with no custom glue.

Endpoint catalog
/globalnews/headlinesReturns recent Global News headlines for one section. `section` is required and takes a slug such as `canada`, `world`, `money`, `us-news`, `the-curator` or a local-station slug like `toronto` or `calgary`. Each item has its title and URL, plus summary, author, publication time and image when the outlet provides them.
Sampled 14 Oct 2026: 10 items, 6 fields filled in every item. published_at: 2026-10-13; url: globalnews.ca.
MCP tool globalnews_headlines
/globalnews/newsReturns the latest top stories from Global News (globalnews.ca), with no parameters. Each item has its title and URL, plus summary, author, publication time and image when the outlet provides them, so it works as a quick check on what the outlet is leading with.
Sampled 14 Oct 2026: 10 items, 6 fields filled in every item. published_at: 2026-10-13; url: globalnews.ca.
MCP tool globalnews_news
/globalnews/sectionsReturns the public Global News RSS section inventory used by the headlines endpoint, covering topical sections and every regional/city hub with its own feed.
Sampled 14 Oct 2026: 33 items, 3 fields filled in every item. name: “World” and 32 other values; url: globalnews.ca.
MCP tool globalnews_sections
/globalnews/articleReturns one Global News article by `url`, a canonical `globalnews.ca` link of the form `/news/<id>/<slug>/` or `/the-curator/<id>/<slug>/`. The response has the title, description, section, authors, lead image, publish and update times, the body as `paragraphs`, and a `paywalled` flag.
Sampled 14 Oct 2026: 9 of 9 fields returned with a value. published_at: 2026-09-24; section: “Politics”.
MCP tool globalnews_article
/globalnews/authorReturns a Global News author profile by `url`, a canonical `https://globalnews.ca/author/<slug>/` link. The response has the author's `name`, `biography`, `image_url` and a list of recent articles. `title`, `image_url` and `biography` appear only if the author page shows them, and each article's `published_at` is relative text such as `2 hours` or `Sep 16`, not a timestamp.
Sampled 14 Oct 2026: 25 items, 5 fields filled in every item. url: globalnews.ca; title: median 72 characters.

How to scrape Global News
Global News describes its reporting as a network of 21 local newsrooms paired with national coverage and stories about Canada and abroad. Start with the matching local edition for a municipal or provincial issue, then compare national coverage for wider context. The local report and national rewrite may describe the same event, so preserve the newsroom, geography, byline, publication time, and canonical URL rather than counting them as separate events. For weather or public safety, collect dated snapshots because article details can change after the first headline. A 2026-10-27 pull listed 33 slugs that mix national topics (world, canada, politics) with city slugs such as calgary, and each feed returned 10 stories.
The sections route covers topical sections and every regional or city hub, each with its own feed. Slugs include canada, world, money, us-news, the-curator and local-station values such as toronto and calgary.
Article calls take a canonical globalnews.ca link of the form /news/<id>/<slug>/ or /the-curator/<id>/<slug>/ and return title, description, section, authors, lead image, publish and update times and body paragraphs.
The numeric id in the path identifies the story, so use it as the stable key and treat the trailing slug as descriptive text.
The author route takes a /author/<slug>/ URL and returns name, biography, image_url and recent articles. Title, image_url and biography appear only if the profile has them.
The world section's 10 stories ran from 2026-10-24 11:49 UTC to 2026-10-26 18:12, and calgary's 10 ran from 2026-10-24 to 2026-10-26 23:44, so city feeds can be as active as national ones. Keep the slug beside each story.
The news route returned 10 stories from 2026-10-26 22:22 UTC to 2026-10-27 00:58, a window of about two and a half hours, much shorter than the two-day section windows. Use it to catch breaking items, not for coverage.

Yes. Local-station slugs such as toronto and calgary sit beside topical slugs like canada and money in the headlines route.
Canonical globalnews.ca links shaped /news/<id>/<slug>/ or /the-curator/<id>/<slug>/.
No. Title, image_url and biography appear only when the profile provides them.
No. On 2026-10-27 it returned 10 stories from the last two and a half hours, while a section feed reached back two days.
