Managed execution
How Crawlora handles this platform
Every figure below is read from the live Live Science endpoint catalog — 5 endpoints, 10 documented request parameters, and 5 published response schemas — the same catalog Docs and Playground run against.
Documented endpoint coverage
5 documented Live Science endpoints, grouped into 5 request families — Article, Author and Headlines, plus 2 more.
Published request surface
10 request parameters are documented across those Live Science endpoints, 7 of them required — the full input contract is public before you write any integration code.
Known response shape
5 of the 5 Live Science 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
Live Science 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 Live Science endpoints, so an agent can call the same routes with the same parameters and the same JSON contract, with no custom glue.

/livescience/headlinesGet Live Science section headlines
Returns current Live Science headlines for one section. `section` is required and takes one of 14 slugs: `animals`, `archaeology`, `chemistry`, `features`, `health`, `human-behavior`, `interviews`, `news`, `opinion`, `physics-mathematics`, `planet-earth`, `products`, `space` or `technology`. Each item has a title and URL, plus author, publication time and image when the section page shows them.

How to scrape Live Science
Extract Live Science data in 8 steps
Live Science launched as a complement to Space.com and is now published by Future plc. Its public section taxonomy spans space, archaeology, animals, health, human behavior, physics-mathematics, planet Earth, and technology. Use a discipline route for a research watchlist so an archaeology discovery or health explainer does not get diluted by the site’s general science stream. On 2026-10-27 the 14 sections ranged from a daily news feed to an animals feed whose 99 stories reached back to February 2024, and several feeds had no summary field. A second pull on 2026-10-27 re-checked the 14-slug section list and the cross-section feed.
- Step 1
Choose among 14 top-level sections
The sections route lists animals, archaeology, chemistry, features, health, human-behavior, interviews, news, opinion, physics-mathematics, planet-earth, products, space and technology.
- Step 2
Keep the format slugs apart from topics
features, interviews, opinion, news and products are formats, while animals or space are topics. Record the slug to keep them separate.
- Step 3
Store the paywalled flag
Article calls take a canonical HTTPS livescience.com URL and return title, description, section, authors, lead image, publish and update times, body paragraphs and a paywalled flag.
- Step 4
Read one page of the author profile
The author route returns name, job title, biography, social links and one page of recent articles.
- Step 5
Use news for freshness and topic slugs for archives
animals returned 99 stories from 2024-02-21 to 2026-10-22, over two and a half years, with no summaries, while news returned 20 stories from 2026-10-21 to 2026-10-26 with summaries.
- Step 6
Check the cross-section window
The news route returned 50 stories from 2026-10-18 to 2026-10-26, each with a byline, summary and image, so it works as a roughly eight-day recent set.
- Step 7
Map 14 slugs from animals to technology
On 2026-10-27 the sections route listed 14 slugs, among them animals, archaeology, chemistry, features, health, human-behavior, interviews, news. Pass a slug exactly as listed and store it beside every story, because one article can surface under several slugs.
- Step 8
Use the 50-row strip for freshness
The cross-section news route returned 50 stories from 2026-10-18 10:00 UTC to 2026-10-26 21:45 UTC, with bylines on 50 of 50, summaries on 50 of 50 and images on 50 of 50. It is a convenient index of recent stories rather than a complete archive.
