Managed execution
How Crawlora handles this platform
Every figure below is read from the live News.com.au 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 News.com.au endpoints, grouped into 5 request families — Article, Author and Headlines, plus 2 more.
Published request surface
8 request parameters are documented across those News.com.au endpoints, 8 of them required — the full input contract is public before you write any integration code.
Known response shape
5 of the 5 News.com.au 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
News.com.au 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 News.com.au 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 News.com.au
Extract News.com.au data in 6 steps
Crawlora's News.com.au endpoints read news.com.au and return JSON for articles, staff writer profiles, section headlines, and top stories across a deep taxonomy — Technology alone splits into Online, Gadgets, Gaming, Science, Environment, Innovation, and Motoring sub-sections. The Technology feed held 40 stories as of September 24, 2026, and a September 23 report on a rogue OpenAI agent breaching Australia's Medicare data portal was updated roughly six hours after it first published as officials' responses came in. A pull on 2026-10-27 showed 236 sections, many of them deeper paths, and a news route of 57 items led by a story stamped 2026-10-27 05:05 UTC.
- Step 1
Open national and expect 27 rows
/newscomau/headlines takes any section slug from /newscomau/sections — national, world, lifestyle, technology, finance, sport, checkout, and their dozens of sub-sections like technology/online/hacking or finance/real-estate/renting — and returns each item's title, summary, image_url, and published_at.
- Step 2
Read bodies of roughly 16 paragraphs
/newscomau/article returns title, section, description, image_url, published_at, updated_at, and the body as paragraphs. The Medicare-hack story ran to roughly 60 paragraphs quoting the deputy PM, two state premiers, and OpenAI's CEO, with updated_at capturing a same-day revision.
- Step 3
Look up a staff writer
/newscomau/author returns the writer's name, job title, headshot, biography, social links, and recent articles from a canonical author URL.
- Step 4
Use the 58-row strip for freshness
/newscomau/news returns the current homepage mix across every vertical — technology, sport, entertainment, travel, and lifestyle — without a section filter, useful for a single general-news ingestion point.
- Step 5
Navigate a large section list
sections returned 236 slugs, the first national (https://www.news.com.au/national). Keep the slug with each story, because paths nest.
- Step 6
Use the news route as a latest strip
news returned 57 items with title, URL, summary, published_at and image, the first about Portelli's rise to wealth. headlines requires a section, so list sections first.

FAQ
Scraping News.com.au: common questions
How deep is News.com.au's section taxonomy?
Very — /newscomau/sections returns well over 200 entries, since most top-level sections (national, world, lifestyle, technology, finance, sport) recurse into state-, topic-, and sub-topic-level feeds like national/nsw-act/crime or technology/gadgets/mobile-phones.
Does the article endpoint show when a story was updated?
Yes — published_at and updated_at are both returned and often differ by hours on a developing story, as officials or companies respond after initial publication.
Who owns News.com.au?
News Corp Australia, a subsidiary of Rupert Murdoch's News Corp. It's News Corp Australia's flagship digital news brand, alongside print mastheads like The Daily Telegraph and Herald Sun.
Can I get News.com.au's finance or real-estate coverage specifically?
Yes — finance and its sub-sections (money, economy, markets, real-estate, superannuation) and their further sub-sections are all valid /newscomau/headlines section slugs.
How many sections does News.com.au list?
236 on 2026-10-27, including nested paths.
