Managed execution
How Crawlora handles this platform
Every figure below is read from the live India Today 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 India Today endpoints, grouped into 5 request families — Article, Author and Headlines, plus 2 more.
Published request surface
8 request parameters are documented across those India Today endpoints, 8 of them required — the full input contract is public before you write any integration code.
Known response shape
5 of the 5 India Today 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
India Today 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 India Today 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 India Today
Extract India Today data in 6 steps
India Today Group began with the India Today magazine and now runs an integrated newsroom across television, print, mobile, social, and digital platforms. Its public taxonomy includes fact check and data-intelligence routes. Use those routes explicitly when validating a claim or assembling a data-driven brief; they should not be inferred from broader India or politics headlines. On 2026-10-27 the sections route listed 35 slugs, but only some feeds carried timestamps: top-news returned 41 title-and-URL rows, bollywood returned 19 rows with summaries and images, and the news route returned 76 rows with summaries that reach back a year, to 2025-10-28.
- Step 1
Choose among 35 section pages
The sections route lists 35 slugs, such as top-news, south-india, markets, ott, elections, history-of-it, cricket, bollywood and fact-check. Other values return 400.
- Step 2
Plan for 12 to 60 text stories
A section call returns the text stories listed on that page, typically 12 to 60, with title, URL, type, summary and image where shown, but no publication time. The news route reads the RSS feed and omits video and photo items.
- Step 3
Detect magazine teasers
Subscriber-only magazine stories return only the public teaser with paywalled set to true. Keep the flag beside the body.
- Step 4
Include desk bylines
The author route takes a /author/<slug> URL and accepts desk bylines such as india-today-business-desk, returning name, job title, headshot, biography and the first page of recent articles.
- Step 5
Check which fields a feed provides
top-news returned title and URL only, so dates need the article route. bollywood added a summary and image on all 19 rows but still no byline.
- Step 6
Size the cross-section feed
The news route returned 76 rows, all with summaries but no images, with timestamps from 2025-10-28 to 2026-10-27. Despite the name it is a year-long window, not a latest strip, so filter by published_at.
