Managed execution
How Crawlora handles this platform
Every figure below is read from the live Rappler 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 Rappler endpoints, grouped into 5 request families — Article, Author and Headlines, plus 2 more.
Published request surface
9 request parameters are documented across those Rappler endpoints, 7 of them required — the full input contract is public before you write any integration code.
Known response shape
5 of the 5 Rappler 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
Rappler endpoints document their error responses (400, 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 Rappler 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 Rappler
Extract Rappler data in 8 steps
Rappler is a Philippine digital newsroom co-founded by Maria Ressa, known for accountability reporting and fact checking alongside national and regional news. For researchers, an investigation and a fact check should remain distinct editorial forms even if both concern the same political claim. The public section feeds make that distinction possible. Rappler+ member-tier articles may be marked paywalled, so preserve the label rather than treating any visible excerpt as complete text. The 2026-10-27 sections route returned 175 slugs, and it includes slugs named for site information, such as about, policies and team, beside editorial feeds. A second pull on 2026-10-27 re-checked the 175-slug section list and the cross-section feed.
- Step 1
Use the 175 live-feed categories
The sections route lists the 175 Rappler categories that have a live feed, such as news-updates, business, nation, fact-check, investigative and climate-change.
- Step 2
Read the newest across sections
The news route returns the newest stories across all sections with title, canonical URL, short summary, publication time, author byline and lead image.
- Step 3
Flag Rappler+ stories
Rappler+ member-tier stories are flagged paywalled in article calls.
- Step 4
Look up a Rappler author like delfin-dioquino
The author route takes a slug (for example delfin-dioquino) or a canonical URL, exactly one, and returns name, bio, social links and the 10 most recent articles.
- Step 5
Exclude non-news slugs from a monitoring job
The list begins with about, awards-recognition, news-updates, policies, special-projects, team, brandrap and announcements, so check what each slug returns before adding it to a monitoring job. about returned 10 items from 2026-09-21 to 2026-10-17.
- Step 6
Compare investigative cadence with news
investigative returned 10 stories from 2026-05-02 to 2026-09-15, while the news route returned 9 stories from 2026-10-26 11:46 UTC to 2026-10-27 01:12 with bylines and summaries.
- Step 7
Start from about and 174 more slugs
On 2026-10-27 the sections route listed 175 slugs, among them about, awards-recognition, news-updates, policies, special-projects, team, brandrap, announcements. Treat each slug as its own feed: send it verbatim and remember that the same story may be listed under several.
- Step 8
Poll a 10-story strip covering 6 hours
The cross-section news route returned 9 stories from 2026-10-26 11:46 UTC to 2026-10-27 01:12 UTC, with bylines on 9 of 9, summaries on 9 of 9 and images on 6 of 9. It is a convenient index of recent stories rather than a complete archive.
