Managed execution
How Crawlora handles this platform
Every figure below is read from the live Khaleej Times 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 Khaleej Times endpoints, grouped into 5 request families — Article, Author and Headlines, plus 2 more.
Published request surface
8 request parameters are documented across those Khaleej Times endpoints, 8 of them required — the full input contract is public before you write any integration code.
Known response shape
5 of the 5 Khaleej Times 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
Khaleej Times 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 Khaleej Times 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 Khaleej Times
Extract Khaleej Times data in 8 steps
Khaleej Times is Galadari Printing and Publishing’s English-language UAE daily, published since 1978. Its catalog documents 94 section routes, including UAE government, legal, transport, schooling, visas, and Gulf coverage. Select a service-oriented route such as visas or education when tracking practical expatriate updates, and use the broader UAE route for general affairs. On 2026-10-27 the sections route listed 94 slugs with overlapping business and metaverse branches, and the cross-section news route returned 162 stories with images but no summaries. A second pull on 2026-10-27 re-checked the 94-slug section list and the cross-section feed.
- Step 1
Build slugs from URL paths
A section slug is its URL path with slashes turned into hyphens, so /business/markets is business-markets. Fetch the inventory from the sections route and pass values exactly.
- Step 2
Expect parent sections to mix children
Top-level sections mix their sub-sections' stories. Use the sub-section slug for a narrow feed.
- Step 3
Know the top-stories source
Khaleej Times publishes no RSS feed, so the news route reads its public Google News sitemap and leaves out video, partner-content and section pages.
- Step 4
Handle live blogs and authors
Article calls accept live-blog pages and return their timestamped update headlines as paragraphs. The author route returns name, photo, biography and the first page of recent articles.
- Step 5
Navigate the nested business and metaverse slugs
The list includes business, business-property, business-auto, business-aviation, business-corporate and three metaverse variants (metaverse, metaverse-blockchain, metaverse-web3). Store the slug used for every story.
- Step 6
Size the feeds before scheduling
The business slug returned 23 stories from 2026-10-21 to 2026-10-26, while the news route returned 162 stories from 2026-10-25 02:00 UTC to 2026-10-27 01:59, with images on all and no summaries.
- Step 7
Choose among 94 section slugs
On 2026-10-27 the sections route listed 94 slugs, among them business, business-property, metaverse, metaverse-blockchain, metaverse-web3, business-auto, business-aviation, business-corporate. Use the listed value unchanged and record which slug produced a story; overlapping slugs mean the same article can recur.
- Step 8
Read 180 stories spanning 2 days
The cross-section news route returned 162 stories from 2026-10-25 02:00 UTC to 2026-10-27 01:59 UTC, with bylines on none of 162, summaries on none of 162 and images on 162 of 162. Treat it as a recent strip and fetch section feeds or articles for fuller fields.
