Managed execution
How Crawlora handles this platform
Every figure below is read from the live ZDNet endpoint catalog — 5 endpoints, 10 documented request parameters, and 5 published response schemas — the same catalog Docs and Playground run against.
Documented endpoint coverage
5 documented ZDNet endpoints, grouped into 5 request families — Article, Author and Headlines, plus 2 more.
Published request surface
10 request parameters are documented across those ZDNet endpoints, 7 of them required — the full input contract is public before you write any integration code.
Known response shape
5 of the 5 ZDNet 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
ZDNet 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 ZDNet endpoints, so an agent can call the same routes with the same parameters and the same JSON contract, with no custom glue.

GETapiKeyexample
/zdnet/articleGet ZDNet article or review content
Returns one ZDNet article, review or how-to by its canonical `zdnet.com` `url`. The response has the title, description, published and updated times, section labels, authors, lead image and body `paragraphs`. Video, topic and author pages are not supported and return an error instead of an empty article.
MCP tool zdnet_article

/zdnet/headlinesGet ZDNet section headlines
Lists fresh ZDNet headlines for one topic or content type. `section` is required and takes a slug such as `artificial-intelligence`, `security`, `smartphones`, `vpn`, `how-to` or `news`; `zdnet-sections` lists all of them. Video pages are dropped, and an invalid value returns a 400 error.
MCP tool zdnet_headlines

How to scrape ZDNet
Extract ZDNet data in 6 steps
ZDNet is Ziff Davis's business-technology publication, covering enterprise IT, security, cloud, artificial intelligence, devices, and professional guidance. Its audience differs from consumer gadget sites: an AI deployment analysis, security advisory, and laptop buying recommendation answer different business questions. Preserve the technology domain, enterprise use case, and article format before counting vendor mentions or extracting purchasing advice. On 2026-10-25 the documented list held nearly 100 topic and content-type slugs. The robot-vacuums feed returned 19 items in no date order, with published_at values from 2020-06-29 to 2026-10-22: evergreen guides titled for 2026 kept their original dates (a 2020 vacuum guide, a 2022 Roborock roundup), so published_at is not a last-updated time. A second pull on 2026-10-27 re-checked the 97-slug section list and the cross-section feed.
- Step 1
Do not read published_at as freshness
The best robot vacuums for 2026 guide carried 2020-06-29, and the best Roborock 2026 roundup 2022-10-19. For evergreen guides, fetch the article for the update date.
- Step 2
Separate reviews, roundups and deals
The feed mixed lab-tested reviews (Narwal Flow 2, Eufy Omni S2), roundups, Prime Day and Memorial Day deal lists and a policy explainer on the FCC ban on foreign-made robot vacuums. Label each format.
- Step 3
Capture lab awards
ZDNET Lab Award pieces name winners for pickup performance and sand pickup. Record the award category and test date from the article.
- Step 4
Open the article for versions and lab context
Pass a canonical public URL to /zdnet/article and use /zdnet/author for the named contributor when available. Fetch the article and public contributor profile for product versions, affected systems and cited organizations.
- Step 5
Start from 5g and 96 more slugs
On 2026-10-27 the sections route listed 97 slugs, among them 5g, amazon, android, apple, ar-vr, artificial-intelligence, broadband, business. Treat each slug as its own feed: send it verbatim and remember that the same story may be listed under several.
- Step 6
Small sections are archive slices
ZDNet lists 97 slugs. On 2026-10-30 the cross-section strip returned 25 stories from 2026-10-26 17:00 to 2026-10-29 17:45 UTC with bylines and summaries but no images, while the 5g section returned only 3 headlines spanning 2025-12-12 to 2026-09-30 and amazon 5 from 2026-07-31 to 2026-09-17, so a small section is an archive slice, not a live feed.
