Managed execution
Every figure below is read from the live ABC News endpoint catalog — 5 endpoints, 8 documented request parameters, and 5 published response schemas — the same catalog Docs and Playground run against.
5 documented ABC News endpoints, grouped into 5 request families — Article, Author and Headlines, plus 2 more.
8 request parameters are documented across those ABC News endpoints, 8 of them required — the full input contract is public before you write any integration code.
5 of the 5 ABC 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.
ABC News 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.
5 hosted MCP tools back the ABC 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 ABC News
Crawlora's ABC News endpoints read abcnews.com and return JSON for articles, section headlines, and authors. ABC News runs 8 sections — us, world, politics, business, technology, entertainment, health, sports. On 2026-09-23 the technology section carried 7 live headlines, six of them AI-safety and AI-policy stories published within the same week, including a Google location-data fine that Ireland's regulator settled for $463 million. Most wire stories are bylined to The Associated Press rather than an individual ABC reporter, and articles expose both published_at and updated_at — the Google fine story was revised 44 minutes after it first went live. A second pull on 2026-10-27 re-checked the 8-slug section list and the cross-section feed.
/abcnews/sections returns the 8 live sections — us, world, politics, business, technology, entertainment, health, sports — each with its canonical abcnews.com URL.
/abcnews/headlines takes one of those section slugs and returns title, url, image_url, published_at, and an optional summary. The technology feed skews heavily toward AI-policy coverage right now.
/abcnews/article returns authors, description, image_url, a paragraphs array, section, published_at, and updated_at. Wire stories are commonly bylined "The Associated Press" rather than a named ABC reporter.
/abcnews/author takes a canonical abcnews.com author URL and returns that reporter's profile and recent bylines — useful for the smaller share of stories with a named ABC News author rather than a wire byline.
The sections route lists 8 slugs: us, world, politics, business, technology, entertainment, health and sports. On 2026-10-30 us and world each returned 11 headlines, every one also in the cross-section news strip, with summaries on 4 of 11 and images on all 11, so key stored stories by URL.
The cross-section news route returned 1000 stories from 2026-10-22 11:38 to 2026-10-30 05:06 UTC, a round number that looks like a cap, and each row has only title, url and published_at. The same popemobile story appears twice at the top, so de-duplicate by URL before counting.

us, world (International), politics, business, technology, entertainment, health, and sports — 8 total, each backed by its own abcnews.com landing page.
Yes. /abcnews/article returns the story as a paragraphs array plus description, image_url, and both published_at and updated_at, so you can detect when a wire story was revised after publication.
ABC News runs a large volume of AP wire content, especially in fast-moving categories like technology and world news, alongside its own staff-bylined reporting.
Yes, via /abcnews/author with that reporter's canonical ABC News author URL — this only resolves for staff-bylined stories, not AP wire pickups.
