Scrape News Articles via API

News sites are everywhere. Their APIs are paywalled, inconsistent, or nonexistent. denkbot.dog scrapes any news URL and returns the article content as clean text. No newsroom API negotiations, no RSS parsing nightmares. The dog retrieves the article. You build the aggregator.

What you'd use this for

News aggregation, media monitoring, sentiment analysis pipelines, journalist research tools, and building custom news readers.

How it works

example
// Extract news article content
const { title, text, metadata, url } = await fetch(
  'https://api.denkbot.dog/scrape',
  {
    method: 'POST',
    headers: {
      'Authorization': 'Bearer YOUR_API_KEY',
      'Content-Type': 'application/json',
    },
    body: JSON.stringify({
      url: 'https://news-site.com/article/breaking-story',
      renderJs: false, // Most news sites are server-rendered
    }),
  }
).then(r => r.json())

// metadata.ogTitle, metadata.ogDescription, metadata.ogImage
// are usually populated on news articles

Questions & Answers

Does it bypass news paywalls?+

No. If an article requires a subscription, we can't access the content.

Can it extract the article publish date?+

It's often in the HTML or meta tags. Check metadata.ogPublishDate or parse it from the HTML.

Does it work with AMP pages?+

Yes. AMP pages are just HTML.
