Managed execution
How Crawlora handles this platform
Every figure below is read from the live SFGate 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 SFGate endpoints, grouped into 5 request families — Article, Author and Headlines, plus 2 more.
Published request surface
8 request parameters are documented across those SFGate endpoints, 8 of them required — the full input contract is public before you write any integration code.
Known response shape
5 of the 5 SFGate 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
SFGate 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 SFGate 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 SFGate
Extract SFGate data in 4 steps
SFGate is Hearst's Bay Area digital publication, with a mix that reaches beyond San Francisco city hall into California travel, restaurants, culture, and outdoor life. A Bay Area market study can lose that distinction if every item is filed simply as local news. Keep the publisher's category and geography attached to each record, especially when comparing coverage of a city neighborhood with a statewide destination. On 2026-10-25 the documented list held 12 section slugs. The routes feed returned 15 items, one per week from 2026-07-18 to 2026-10-24, all published around 11:00 UTC on Saturdays and all by one contributor, so it behaves like a weekly airline and airport column, not a topic archive.
- Step 1
Read the slug as a column or a beat
/sfgate/sections lists 12 slugs: top-news, bay-area, business-technology, entertainment, celebrity, food-dining, travel, routes, top-sports, giants, 49ers and warriors. routes returned a weekly series by a single writer, so it measures one column's output rather than Bay Area travel coverage.
- Step 2
Use the cadence to spot gaps
A weekly feed with Saturday timestamps makes a missing week visible. Check the gap between consecutive published_at values before you assume a pull dropped a story.
- Step 3
Do not trust slugs in URLs
SFGate article URLs end in a numeric id, and the slug words can come from an earlier headline: a Southwest story and a United aircraft story both sat under URLs naming other subjects. Store the canonical URL and the title from the response, not words parsed from the path.
- Step 4
Resolve the article and byline
Pass a canonical public URL to /sfgate/article and use /sfgate/author for the named contributor when available. Keep the place named in the piece, because SFGate covers California and travel beyond the city.

FAQ
Scraping SFGate: common questions
What does the routes section contain?
On 2026-10-25 it held 15 weekly items from 2026-07-18 to 2026-10-24 on airlines and airports, such as United's SFO routes, Southwest's Companion Pass and Sacramento's tower. Every item had the same byline.
Can I derive a headline from an SFGate URL?
No. Slug words can predate a headline rewrite, and two travel stories in the routes feed had URLs about different subjects. Use the response title and keep the canonical URL as the key.
Which SFGate slugs cover Bay Area sports?
giants, 49ers, warriors and top-sports. Seasonal teams can be quiet out of season, so check the newest published_at before treating a slug as active.
