Managed execution
How Crawlora handles this platform
Every figure below is read from the live Philstar endpoint catalog — 5 endpoints, 9 documented request parameters, and 5 published response schemas — the same catalog Docs and Playground run against.
Documented endpoint coverage
5 documented Philstar endpoints, grouped into 5 request families — Article, Author and Headlines, plus 2 more.
Published request surface
9 request parameters are documented across those Philstar endpoints, 7 of them required — the full input contract is public before you write any integration code.
Known response shape
5 of the 5 Philstar 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
Philstar 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 Philstar 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 Philstar
Extract Philstar data in 6 steps
Philstar is a Philippine news publication within Philstar Media Group. Its section directory spans English coverage and Filipino or Cebuano editions, so a corpus that treats every returned item as English national news will be misleading. Philstar’s headline endpoint reads public section pages because the site does not publish crawlable feeds for them; the general news endpoint reads the homepage’s latest, trending and featured selections. Those sources answer different questions about publication and prominence. The 2026-10-27 sections route listed 93 slugs, and the Philstar rows carried date-only timestamps (2026-10-27) rather than times.
- Step 1
Navigate English, Filipino and Cebuano sections
The sections route covers every English, Filipino (Pilipino Star Ngayon, Pang-Masa) and Cebuano (Banat, The Freeman) section page that lists stories. 93 slugs are accepted.
- Step 2
Know that headlines read the page
Philstar publishes no crawlable feeds, so the headlines route reads the first page of the section page itself.
- Step 3
Read full stories
Philstar serves full stories to anonymous readers, so article calls return the body and no paywall flag is needed.
- Step 4
Identify authors by numeric id
The author route returns the author's public archive (name, photo when set, recent stories on the first page); authors are identified by the numeric id in the byline link philstar.com/authors/<id>/<name>.
- Step 5
Order by something other than time of day
The news route returned 62 rows, all dated with a plain date, so many stories share the same stamp. Keep the feed order and URL as tiebreakers.
- Step 6
Expect partial fields
headlines returned 15 stories with a byline on all 15, a summary on 11 and an image on 14, and other-sections-daily-bread returned 9 stories with no byline. Slugs include headlines-weather, nation, world and business-agriculture.
