Managed execution
How Crawlora handles this platform
Every figure below is read from the live IndieWire 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 IndieWire endpoints, grouped into 5 request families — Article, Author and Headlines, plus 2 more.
Published request surface
9 request parameters are documented across those IndieWire endpoints, 8 of them required — the full input contract is public before you write any integration code.
Known response shape
5 of the 5 IndieWire 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
IndieWire 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 IndieWire endpoints, so an agent can call the same routes with the same parameters and the same JSON contract, with no custom glue.

/indiewire/sectionsGet IndieWire sections
Lists IndieWire's 32 editorial categories accepted by `indiewire-headlines`, such as `analysis`, `box-office`, `festivals`, `interviews`, `obituary` and `trailers`. Each entry has a `slug`, display `name` and the category feed `url`. Categories nest under the roots `news`, `features`, `awards` and `criticism`.
MCP tool indiewire_sections
x-api-key:header
GETapiKeyexample
/indiewire/newsGet IndieWire top stories
Returns IndieWire's current top stories on independent film, TV and awards, with no parameters. Each item has its title, URL, one-sentence summary, author and publication time. Gallery and list pages are left out because they are not text articles.
MCP tool indiewire_news
x-api-key:header
GETapiKeyexample
/indiewire/headlinesGet IndieWire section headlines
Returns fresh headlines from one public IndieWire section feed. Gallery and list pages are omitted because they are not text articles.
MCP tool indiewire_headlines

GETapiKeyexample
/indiewire/articleGet IndieWire article content
Returns public IndieWire article metadata (title, author(s), published/updated dates, section, lead image) and the body paragraphs an anonymous visitor sees, from a canonical article URL. Paywalled content is never bypassed; a gated story would return only its public portion.

How to scrape IndieWire
Extract IndieWire data in 8 steps
IndieWire began with independent-film coverage and now covers film, television, and streaming. Its 32 public categories, verified 2026-09-24, nest under news, features, awards, and criticism. Preserve the parent category with each result so a critic’s feature can be distinguished from an awards update or a breaking industry-news item later. A pull on 2026-10-27 listed 32 sections; rows had byline and summary but no images, and the analysis feed spanned three months. A second pull on 2026-10-27 re-checked the 32-slug section list and the cross-section feed.
- Step 1
Choose a film workflow
Call /indiewire/sections to select a category such as festivals, craft, box-office, predictions, criticism, interviews, or industry.
- Step 2
Read the right editorial stream
Use /indiewire/news for current top stories or /indiewire/headlines with a category route for awards or criticism monitoring.
- Step 3
Resolve articles and contributors
Open a canonical URL through /indiewire/article and use /indiewire/author to inspect a public contributor’s profile and recent work.
- Step 4
Compare editorial feeds with news
analysis returned 12 stories from 2026-07-09 to 2026-10-19 and festivals 12 from 2026-09-30 to 2026-10-24, while the news route returned 12 from 2026-10-25 13:48 UTC to 2026-10-27 00:30.
- Step 5
Pick from the awards slugs
Slugs include animation, awards, awards-premium, best-of and box-office. awards and awards-premium are separate feeds, so pull both when you track awards coverage.
- Step 6
Fetch images separately
No row had an image field, so use the article route for the lead image.
- Step 7
Pick from 32 feeds, analysis first
On 2026-10-27 the sections route listed 32 slugs, among them analysis, animation, awards, awards-premium, best-of, box-office, brand-content, breaking-news. Use the listed value unchanged and record which slug produced a story; overlapping slugs mean the same article can recur.
- Step 8
Treat 12 rows as 13 hours of news
The cross-section news route returned 12 stories from 2026-10-25 13:48 UTC to 2026-10-27 00:30 UTC, with bylines on 12 of 12, summaries on 12 of 12 and images on none of 12. Poll it for new items, then enrich them from a section feed.
