Managed execution
How Crawlora handles this platform
Every figure below is read from the live PhoneArena endpoint catalog — 5 endpoints, 9 documented request parameters, and 5 published response schemas — the same catalog Docs and Playground run against.
Documented endpoint coverage
5 documented PhoneArena endpoints, grouped into 5 request families — Article, Author and Headlines, plus 2 more.
Published request surface
9 request parameters are documented across those PhoneArena endpoints, 7 of them required — the full input contract is public before you write any integration code.
Known response shape
5 of the 5 PhoneArena 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
PhoneArena 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 PhoneArena 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 PhoneArena
Extract PhoneArena data in 6 steps
PhoneArena, founded by Pressian Karakostov, specializes in mobile devices, comparisons, software and carrier coverage. Its endpoint family uses different discovery sources: recent phone news comes from a public news sitemap, while the headlines endpoint covers selected listings including current-month news and current-year reviews. Those listing records can have titles reconstructed from hero-image filenames and listing modification times rather than original publication times. Keep that provenance visible when building a launch timeline. A 2026-10-27 pull listed only 3 sections (news, news-month and reviews), and the rows were bare: no byline, summary or image on news.
- Step 1
Choose among three listings
The sections route lists news (the last two days of news), news-month (the newest news of the current calendar month) and reviews (newest reviews, comparisons and hands-on).
- Step 2
Read the reconstructed titles
For news-month and reviews, titles are reconstructed from the hero-image file name and published_at is the listing's last-modified time. The news route reads the sitemap and gives exact titles and publication times.
- Step 3
Plan for up to 100 items
A listing call returns up to 100 newest stories or reviews.
- Step 4
Handle Cloudflare challenges
PhoneArena serves pages behind a Cloudflare challenge; when it is not cleared, the article route returns a 503 error. Treat it as an access outcome.
- Step 5
Pick news or news-month by window
news returned 42 rows from 2026-10-25 09:12 UTC to 2026-10-27 00:41 and news-month returned 100 rows from 2026-10-22, the latter with images. Use news-month for backfill and news for freshness.
- Step 6
Filter by the type field
Rows carry a type field and only title, URL, time and type on news. Fetch the article for body and author.
