Managed execution
Every figure below is read from the live NZ Herald endpoint catalog — 5 endpoints, 8 documented request parameters, and 5 published response schemas — the same catalog Docs and Playground run against.
5 documented NZ Herald endpoints, grouped into 5 request families — Article, Author and Headlines, plus 2 more.
8 request parameters are documented across those NZ Herald endpoints, 8 of them required — the full input contract is public before you write any integration code.
5 of the 5 NZ Herald endpoints ship a recorded example response, and 5 carry a documented response schema — you can code against the real JSON before the first request.
NZ Herald endpoints document their error responses (400, 403, 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 NZ Herald endpoints, so an agent can call the same routes with the same parameters and the same JSON contract, with no custom glue.

Endpoint catalog
/nzherald/articleReturns public NZ Herald article metadata and body paragraphs from a canonical article URL. A premium (subscriber-only) article URL returns a permission error instead of a partial or fabricated body.
MCP tool nzherald_article
/nzherald/authorReturns an NZ Herald author profile from a required `url` in the form `https://www.nzherald.co.nz/author/<slug>/`. The response has `name`, `job_title`, `location`, `email`, `biography`, `image_url` and recent articles. Each field reflects what the author's page shows, and article `published_at` is RFC3339 where the page gives a machine-readable timestamp.
MCP tool nzherald_author
/nzherald/headlinesReturns recent NZ Herald headlines for one section. `section` is required and takes a slug listed by `nzherald-sections`, such as `nz`, `business`, `rugby`, `politics` or `world`. Each item has a title and URL. A URL may point at a premium article, which `nzherald-article` rejects with a permission error.
MCP tool nzherald_headlines
/nzherald/newsReturns the current New Zealand Herald top stories, with no parameters. Each item has a title and URL, and may include summary, author, publication time and image. Use `nzherald-headlines` to read one section.
MCP tool nzherald_news
/nzherald/sectionsLists the NZ Herald section slugs accepted by `nzherald-headlines`, such as `nz`, `business`, `rugby`, `technology` and `world`. Each entry has its `slug`, a display `name` (for example `New Zealand` for `nz`) and a `url`.

How to scrape NZ Herald
The NZ Herald is NZME’s flagship news title, spanning national reporting, local communities, business and investigations. Its homepage can mix those beats, so a section-led collection is useful for comparing coverage over time. The public endpoints do not unlock NZ Herald Premium articles: a premium article request returns a permission error. Plan for that result explicitly when building a corpus or assessing how much of a section is available to anonymous readers. A 2026-10-27 pull listed 44 slugs, and the news route returned 41 bare rows while section feeds carried summaries, images and most bylines.
The sections route lists slugs such as nz (displayed as New Zealand), business, rugby, politics, technology and world.
Headline items carry a title and URL only, and a URL may point at a premium article that the article route rejects with a permission error. The news route adds summary, author, time and image where present.
A premium (subscriber-only) URL returns a permission error instead of a partial or fabricated body.
The author route requires https://www.nzherald.co.nz/author/<slug>/ and returns name, job title, location, email, biography, image and recent articles, each field reflecting what the author page shows.
The news route returned 41 rows with title and URL only. business returned 10 stories from 2026-10-26 16:00 UTC to 23:01, with a summary and image on all 10 and a byline on 9.
paralympics returned 10 stories from 2026-02-18 to 2026-10-25 with bylines on 6, so event slugs can sit dormant for months. Slugs include markets-with-madison, media-insider, business-reports and small-business.
