Managed execution
How Crawlora handles this platform
Every figure below is read from the live Irish Independent endpoint catalog — 5 endpoints, 8 documented request parameters, and 5 published response schemas — the same catalog Docs and Playground run against.
Documented endpoint coverage
5 documented Irish Independent endpoints, grouped into 5 request families — Article, Author and Headlines, plus 2 more.
Published request surface
8 request parameters are documented across those Irish Independent endpoints, 8 of them required — the full input contract is public before you write any integration code.
Known response shape
5 of the 5 Irish Independent 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
Irish Independent 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 Irish Independent 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 Irish Independent
Extract Irish Independent data in 8 steps
The Irish Independent is a Mediahuis Ireland title with a national newsroom and extensive county routes. The catalog documents 128 section slugs and a public latest feed containing about 50 recent stories. Begin with the county or regional route for place-based research, then use the latest feed only when a national cross-section is the intended sample. The 2026-10-27 sections route listed 128 slugs, including nested business and lifestyle slugs, and summaries were sparse: 20 of 50 stories on home. A second pull on 2026-10-27 re-checked the 128-slug section list and the cross-section feed.
- Step 1
Pick from 128 section feeds
The sections route returns every accepted slug, 128 of them: national, regional and county news, sport, business, comment, lifestyle and entertainment, each with its public RSS feed URL.
- Step 2
Mark premium stories
Feed items include premium stories that need a subscription. Keep the premium signal with each record.
- Step 3
Expect a teaser for premium articles
Article calls return headline, description, section, authors, publish and update times, lead image and body paragraphs; a premium article is served to anonymous readers as a one-paragraph teaser.
- Step 4
Collect the author profile
The author route returns name, biography, published email and social links, headshot and the first page of the profile's recent articles.
- Step 5
Handle partial summaries and bylines
The home section returned 50 stories from 2026-10-26 13:30 UTC to 2026-10-27 00:00, with a byline on 46 and a summary on only 20. All 50 had an image.
- Step 6
Plan for very different windows
lifestyle-fashion-beauty returned 50 stories reaching back from 2026-10-25 to 2026-09-04, about seven weeks, while home covered half a day. Slugs like business-commercial-property and business-small-business split the business desk finely.
- Step 7
Start from home and 127 more slugs
On 2026-10-27 the sections route listed 128 slugs, among them home, business, business-commercial-property, business-in-the-workplace, business-irish-business, business-jobs, business-money, business-small-business. Pass a slug exactly as listed and store it beside every story, because one article can surface under several slugs.
- Step 8
Treat 50 rows as about an hour of news
The cross-section news route returned 50 stories from 2026-10-26 13:30 UTC to 2026-10-27 00:00 UTC, with bylines on 46 of 50, summaries on 20 of 50 and images on 50 of 50. Use it to spot fresh items and a section pull to read the complete record.
