Managed execution
How Crawlora handles this platform
Every figure below is read from the live i 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 i endpoints, grouped into 5 request families — Article, Author and Headlines, plus 2 more.
Published request surface
8 request parameters are documented across those i endpoints, 8 of them required — the full input contract is public before you write any integration code.
Known response shape
5 of the 5 i 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
i endpoints document their error responses (400, 403, 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 i 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 i
Extract i data in 8 steps
The i, published online at inews.co.uk, is a UK newspaper within DMGT's Harmsworth Media with broad national and world coverage plus business, culture and practical service journalism. Its concise presentation makes the general RSS feed useful for daily discovery, but a section feed is preferable when following one policy area. The endpoint names use the inews path prefix even though the catalog group is the lowercase letter i; keeping that mapping intact avoids a broken route or mislabeled source. A 2026-10-27 pull listed 45 slugs and each feed returned 10 stories with byline, summary and image. A second pull on 2026-10-27 re-checked the 45-slug section list and the cross-section feed.
- Step 1
Choose among 45 section slugs
The sections route lists 45 slugs, from home and news to football, money and relationships. home is the site-wide listing.
- Step 2
Read the RSS fields
The news route returns top stories from the public RSS feed with summary, author, publish time and lead image when present.
- Step 3
Capture article dates
Article calls return headline, description, section, authors, publish and update times, lead image and body paragraphs.
- Step 4
Open a writer profile from its URL via /author/<slug>
The author route requires https://inews.co.uk/author/<slug> and returns name, bio, image_url, same_as social profiles and up to about 30 recent articles.
- Step 5
Measure the 10-story window
home's 10 stories ran from 2026-10-26 15:12 UTC to 23:35, about eight hours, and opinion's 10 from 2026-10-25 to 2026-10-26, so short intervals suit the lead feed.
- Step 6
Use the topical slugs
Slugs include home, news, world, technology, politics, science, business and education. The news route's 10 stories matched the home window.
- Step 7
Home mirrors the strip
i lists 45 slugs (home, news, world, technology, politics, science, business, education, environment, health, media, housing, crime, sport). On 2026-10-30 home returned the same 10 stories as the cross-section strip (2026-10-29 16:00 to 2026-10-30 05:00 UTC) and news returned 10 with 6 in common, so home adds nothing beyond the strip.
- Step 8
Poll a 10-story strip covering 13 hours
The cross-section news route returned 10 stories from 2026-10-26 15:12 UTC to 2026-10-26 23:35 UTC, with bylines on 10 of 10, summaries on 10 of 10 and images on 10 of 10. Use it to spot fresh items and a section pull to read the complete record.
