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

/polygon/sections
Endpoint catalog
/polygon/articleReturns a Polygon article by canonical `url` (`https://www.polygon.com/<slug>/`): title, description, section, authors, publication and update times, lead image, body `paragraphs` and a `paywalled` flag. Section, guide and other non-article URLs, such as `/gaming-news/` or `/guides/`, are rejected as an invalid parameter.
MCP tool polygon_article
/polygon/authorReturns a Polygon author profile by canonical `url` (`https://www.polygon.com/author/<slug>/`): name, `title`, `image_url`, `biography`, social links and the articles in the profile's Latest module. Title, image and biography appear only as the profile shows them. `social_links` holds the author's own accounts, not Polygon's internal follow link.
MCP tool polygon_author
/polygon/headlinesReturns the latest Polygon stories for one section. `section` is required and takes one of 15 slugs, including `gaming-news`, `gaming-reviews`, `movie-tv-reviews`, `anime`, `guides` and `videos`. Each item has its title, URL, summary, publication time, author and image.
MCP tool polygon_headlines
/polygon/newsReturns Polygon's latest top stories across the site, covering games and entertainment. Takes no parameters, and `polygon-headlines` narrows by section instead. Each item has its title, URL, summary, publication time, author and image.
MCP tool polygon_news
/polygon/sectionsLists the Polygon sections that `polygon-headlines` accepts, from `gaming-news` and `gaming-reviews` to `guides` and `videos`. Each entry has a `slug`, a display `name` and the section's feed `url`.
MCP tool polygon_sections

How to scrape Polygon
Polygon covers games alongside film, television, anime and other genre entertainment. That mix makes category preservation essential: a guide for a game, a review and a franchise explainer may share a title but answer different reader questions. The public RSS section inventory provides the publisher’s editorial framing. Use it to keep game-release coverage separate from broader culture and screen-media stories before comparing with another gaming outlet. On 2026-10-27 the sections route listed 15 slugs split between gaming and entertainment, each returning 10 stories with full fields. A second pull on 2026-10-27 re-checked the 15-slug section list and the cross-section feed.
The sections route lists 15 slugs, from gaming-news and gaming-reviews to movie-tv-reviews, anime, guides and videos.
Article calls take https://www.polygon.com/<slug>/ and return title, description, section, authors, publication and update times, lead image, body paragraphs and a paywalled flag. Section, guide and other non-article URLs are rejected.
/polygon/author requires https://www.polygon.com/author/<slug>/ and returns name, title, image_url, biography, social links and the profile's Latest module. Article authors[] are plain names; the URL built from Patricia Hernandez (/author/patricia-hernandez/) opened on 2026-10-30 with 20 recent articles and a biography.
Title, image and biography appear only as the profile shows them.
Slugs include gaming-news, gaming-reviews, gaming-previews, gaming-features, entertainment-news, movie-tv-reviews, entertainment-features and anime. gaming-news returned 10 stories across about six hours (2026-10-26 14:30 to 20:46 UTC).
anime's 10 stories ran from 2026-09-27 to 2026-10-23, and the news route returned 10 from 2026-10-26 19:12 UTC onward. Each row had byline, summary and image.
Polygon's 15 slugs mix formats and subjects: gaming-news, gaming-reviews, gaming-previews, gaming-features, entertainment-news, movie-tv-reviews, anime, horror, what-to-play and guides. On 2026-10-30 gaming-news returned 10 headlines within a five-hour window (2026-10-29 16:01 to 21:14 UTC) while gaming-reviews reached back to 2026-10-13, so review feeds need a lower polling rate.
The cross-section news route returned 10 stories from 2026-10-26 19:12 UTC to 2026-10-27 01:06 UTC, with bylines on 10 of 10, summaries on 10 of 10 and images on 10 of 10. It suits a quick freshness check; take full rows from a section feed.
