Managed execution
Every figure below is read from the live Inquirer endpoint catalog — 5 endpoints, 9 documented request parameters, and 5 published response schemas — the same catalog Docs and Playground run against.
5 documented Inquirer endpoints, grouped into 5 request families — Article, Author and Headlines, plus 2 more.
9 request parameters are documented across those Inquirer endpoints, 8 of them required — the full input contract is public before you write any integration code.
5 of the 5 Inquirer endpoints ship a recorded example response, and 5 carry a documented response schema — you can code against the real JSON before the first request.
Inquirer 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.
5 hosted MCP tools back the Inquirer endpoints, so an agent can call the same routes with the same parameters and the same JSON contract, with no custom glue.

Endpoint catalog
/inquirer/articleReturns public Philippine Daily Inquirer article metadata and body paragraphs from a canonical article URL on any of its ten public news subdomains.
MCP tool inquirer_article
/inquirer/authorReturns one Philippine Daily Inquirer byline's public archive page: the contributor's name and their recent articles on that subdomain, from a canonical byline URL. Byline pages are per-subdomain, so an author's articles from a different section require calling this endpoint again with that section's own byline URL.
MCP tool inquirer_author
/inquirer/headlinesReturns the latest Philippine Daily Inquirer stories for one section. `section` is required and takes `newsinfo`, `globalnation`, `business`, `sports`, `entertainment`, `lifestyle`, `technology`, `opinion`, `usa` or `cebudailynews`. Each item has its title, URL, summary, publication time, author and lead image.
MCP tool inquirer_headlines
/inquirer/newsReturns the latest top stories from the Philippine Daily Inquirer's flagship national-news site, newsinfo.inquirer.net. Takes no parameters. Each item has its title, URL, summary, publication time, author and lead image.
MCP tool inquirer_news
/inquirer/sectionsLists the ten Philippine Daily Inquirer sections that `inquirer-headlines` accepts, from `newsinfo` to `cebudailynews`. Each entry has a `slug`, a display `name` and the section's `url`. Takes no parameters.
MCP tool inquirer_sections

How to scrape Inquirer
The Philippine Daily Inquirer distributes its public news across multiple section subdomains. That architecture affects collection more than a simple topic tag would: an author archive belongs to a particular subdomain, and the same writer’s work elsewhere may require another byline URL. The catalog’s section endpoint identifies the accepted public news subdomains, giving researchers a concrete map for separating national, business, opinion and entertainment coverage. On 2026-10-27 the sections route listed only 10 slugs, and the newest timestamp in the newsinfo feed (2026-10-27 09:56Z) was well ahead of other feeds pulled at the same time.
The sections route lists newsinfo, globalnation, business, sports, entertainment, lifestyle, technology, opinion, usa and cebudailynews.
The news route returns top stories from the flagship national-news site, newsinfo.inquirer.net.
Article calls accept a canonical URL on any of the ten public news subdomains.
The author route returns one byline archive page, the contributor's name and recent articles on that subdomain. An author's articles on a different subdomain need a separate request.
newsinfo returned 39 stories from 2026-10-26 17:40 UTC to 2026-10-27 09:56, while feeds pulled in the same minute ended near 02:00. That is consistent with local Philippine time being stamped as UTC, but unverified, so compare with the article page before relying on hour-level ordering.
Slugs are newsinfo, globalnation, business, sports, entertainment, lifestyle, technology and opinion. lifestyle returned 40 stories from 2026-10-20, and every row had a byline, summary and image.
