Managed execution
How Crawlora handles this platform
Every figure below is read from the live Straits Times 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 Straits Times endpoints, grouped into 5 request families — Article, Author and Headlines, plus 2 more.
Published request surface
8 request parameters are documented across those Straits Times endpoints, 8 of them required — the full input contract is public before you write any integration code.
Known response shape
5 of the 5 Straits Times 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
Straits Times 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 Straits Times 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 Straits Times
Extract Straits Times data in 6 steps
The Straits Times, a Singapore title of SPH Media Trust, covers Singapore public affairs, the economy, Asia, world news, business, sport, and lifestyle. Its Singapore and regional desks can illuminate the same issue at different scales. For an ASEAN policy or business study, retain both the publisher's section and each article's country focus so cross-border reporting does not get mislabeled as domestic Singapore news. On 2026-10-25 two section calls failed: breaking-news returned a 400 and singapore/transport a generic request failure. The documented list holds more than 40 slugs with slashes in them (singapore/housing, business/companies-markets, sport/formula-one), so build for per-slug failures. A second pull on 2026-10-27 re-checked the 43-slug section list and the cross-section feed.
- Step 1
Encode slash slugs and expect errors
Slugs such as singapore/courts-crime and asia/se-asia contain a slash, so URL-encode them. Two calls on 2026-10-25 failed outright, so keep a per-slug status and retry later.
- Step 2
Do not record a failure as zero stories
A 400 from breaking-news and a failed singapore/transport request are not empty sections. Keep the last good snapshot and log the error.
- Step 3
Pick parent or child feeds deliberately
singapore has nine children (housing, health, transport, politics, jobs and more), and business, sport and life have their own. Request the child you need and note the parent separately.
- Step 4
Open articles; subscriber stories return a teaser
Pass a canonical public URL to /straitstimes/article for public article text and metadata; subscriber-only stories may return only a teaser. Use /straitstimes/author for the named contributor when available, and store the slug, collection time and the article's own country tags.
- Step 5
Start from singapore and 42 more slugs
On 2026-10-27 the sections route listed 43 slugs, among them singapore, singapore/housing, singapore/health, singapore/transport, singapore/parenting-education, singapore/politics, singapore/jobs, singapore/environment. Send slugs verbatim and keep the slug with each record, since a story can appear under more than one of them.
- Step 6
Strip rows lack bylines and timestamps
The cross-section news route returned 30 stories with only title, url and image_url (21 of 30 with an image) and no published_at. Section pulls differ: singapore returned 50 headlines from 2026-10-28 12:30 to 2026-10-30 05:06 UTC with summaries on 45, while singapore/housing returned 10 with images and no timestamps.

FAQ
Scraping Straits Times: common questions
What does a 400 from a Straits Times section mean?
On 2026-10-25 breaking-news returned 400. Treat it as a slug that may be unsupported until a later call succeeds, and use the general news route for the main stream.
How many Straits Times slugs are documented?
More than 40, including ten singapore slugs, four children under business and seven under sport.
Why are Straits Times slugs written with a slash?
They mirror the site's section paths. Pass the full string, URL-encoded.
