Managed execution
Every figure below is read from the live Slate endpoint catalog — 3 endpoints, 5 documented request parameters, and 3 published response schemas — the same catalog Docs and Playground run against.
3 documented Slate endpoints, grouped into 3 request families — Article, Categories and Headlines.
5 request parameters are documented across those Slate endpoints, 4 of them required — the full input contract is public before you write any integration code.
3 of the 3 Slate endpoints ship a recorded example response, and 3 carry a documented response schema — you can code against the real JSON before the first request.
Slate endpoints document their error responses (400, 404, 429, 500 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.
3 hosted MCP tools back the Slate endpoints, so an agent can call the same routes with the same parameters and the same JSON contract, with no custom glue.

Endpoint catalog
/slate/categoriesLists the exact Slate section values accepted by slate-headlines. The set includes all, news-and-politics, culture, technology, business, life, and advice; subsection navigation pages are not RSS feeds and are intentionally not accepted by slate-headlines.
MCP tool slate_categories
/slate/headlinesReturns current Slate article-card metadata from one public RSS feed. section must be one of the values returned by slate-categories.
MCP tool slate_headlines
/slate/articleReturns public Slate article metadata and server-delivered body paragraphs from a canonical dated Slate URL. It does not log in, use account cookies, or bypass a challenge; is_paywalled reports when Slate marks the delivered page as subscription-gated.

How to scrape Slate
Slate publishes six public RSS feed sections; Crawlora exposes discovery, per-section headlines, and full article extraction for each with one API key, without logging in or bypassing any subscription gate. A pull on 2026-10-27 showed Slate's section list at 7 feeds and the all feed returning 24 stories built from an RSS feed.
Call /slate/categories for the exact section values /slate/headlines accepts: all, news-and-politics, culture, technology, business, life, and advice, each with its own feed URL.
Pass a section slug to /slate/headlines (defaults to all) for normalized article metadata from that section's public RSS feed. Non-article podcast entries are excluded.
Pass a canonical dated slate.com article URL to /slate/article for full metadata and body paragraphs. An is_paywalled flag reports whether Slate marked that specific page as subscription-gated.
categories returned 7 sections, the first all (path /, feed https://slate.com/feeds/all.rss). Each section maps to an RSS feed, so the depth of a pull equals the feed length.
headlines for section all returned 24 items, each with an id, title, URL, summary and published_at. Poll often and deduplicate by URL.

Six: all, news-and-politics, culture, technology, business, life, and advice — call /slate/categories for the live list with each section's display name and feed URL. Subsection pages like Politics, Movies, or Science are public navigation pages but don't have their own RSS feed, so they aren't accepted section values.
It returns title, description, publish and update timestamps, section, authors, lead image, tags, heading list, and ordered body paragraphs from Slate's public page. An is_paywalled field reports when Slate marks the delivered page as subscription-gated — treat it as an access-status signal from the upstream page, not a guarantee of free redistribution rights.
No. It reads whatever Slate's public page itself delivers, without account cookies or a bypassed challenge. It does not log in as a Slate Plus subscriber.
