Managed execution
How Crawlora handles this platform
Every figure below is read from the live SBS News 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 SBS News endpoints, grouped into 5 request families — Article, Author and Headlines, plus 2 more.
Published request surface
9 request parameters are documented across those SBS News endpoints, 8 of them required — the full input contract is public before you write any integration code.
Known response shape
5 of the 5 SBS News 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
SBS News 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 SBS News 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 SBS News
Extract SBS News data in 5 steps
SBS News is SBS, Australia's public broadcaster, with national, world, politics, Indigenous, environment, and life reporting. A live /sbsnews/sections response on 2026-10-14 contained 15 topic records; refresh it before scheduling because publisher feeds change. Use the returned news topic destinations to separate Australia and world coverage from politics, Indigenous affairs, environment, and life stories. The author URL is a collection/archive with page semantics, not a promise of a standalone biography; keep podcasts and video in their separate SBS products. Article pages expose public page text. Podcast and video surfaces are outside this news integration. The author route represents an article collection, so do not interpret it as a guaranteed biography or unrestricted history. Use the endpoint cards for this integration's accepted inputs. Publisher reference: https://www.sbs.com.au/news
- Step 1
Use the news topic destinations
A live /sbsnews/sections response on 2026-10-14 contained 15 topic records; refresh it before scheduling because publisher feeds change. Use the returned news topic destinations to separate Australia and world coverage from politics, Indigenous affairs, environment, and life stories. The author URL is a collection/archive with page semantics, not a promise of a standalone biography; keep podcasts and video in their separate SBS products.
- Step 2
Keep topics apart from language services and programs
SBS topics are newsroom groupings, while language services and audio/video programs are distinct surfaces. Keep the selected topic with every headline call and use the contributor collection route for a person profile rather than searching a free-form byline.
- Step 3
Keep the topic with every headline call
SBS topics are newsroom groupings, while language services and audio/video programs are distinct surfaces. Keep the selected topic with every headline call and use the contributor collection route for a person profile rather than searching a free-form byline. Pass only a value returned by /sbsnews/sections and accepted by /sbsnews/headlines; preserve the selected desk with its results.
- Step 4
Read public page text only
Article pages expose public page text. Podcast and video surfaces are outside this news integration. The author route represents an article collection, so do not interpret it as a guaranteed biography or unrestricted history. Keep teaser, truncation, premium, or access fields beside the canonical URL so downstream users can see what the publisher actually returned.
- Step 5
Treat author URLs as article collections
Use the returned news topic destinations to separate Australia and world coverage from politics, Indigenous affairs, environment, and life stories. The author URL is a collection/archive with page semantics, not a promise of a standalone biography; keep podcasts and video in their separate SBS products. Article pages expose public page text. Podcast and video surfaces are outside this news integration. The author route represents an article collection, so do not interpret it as a guaranteed biography or unrestricted history.

What does the SBS author route represent?
