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

Endpoint catalog
/smh/articleReturns one Sydney Morning Herald article's public metadata and the body paragraphs an anonymous visitor's page request is served, from a canonical article URL. The Sydney Morning Herald runs a metered subscription paywall; the response reports it with is_accessible_for_free (the page's own declaration), paywalled (the page marks the story as subscriber content), and is_truncated (the page served a shortened preview, or no body at all, instead of the full story). Paywalls are never bypassed and body text is never fabricated. Video-only pages are rejected with a 400.

How to scrape Sydney Morning Herald
The Sydney Morning Herald is Nine Entertainment's Sydney newspaper, reporting on the city and New South Wales as well as Australian national politics, business, investigations, culture, and sport. City and state geography matters for housing, transport, and public-service research. Keep a Sydney municipal development apart from an NSW government decision even if both appear in the same general news feed.

The documented list runs to roughly a hundred slugs. A pull on 2026-10-27 listed 96 sections; sydney-news returned 16 stories that all shared a single timestamp.
