AP News Scraper

Extract news articles from AP News (Associated Press). Scrape by topic hub or provide direct article URLs. Get lean metadata listings or enriched articles with full body text, authors, tags, and more.

Features

• Topic/Hub Discovery: Scrape any AP News hub page (e.g. /hub/technology, /hub/iran) with automatic pagination
• Direct Article URLs: Provide specific article URLs to scrape directly
• Two Output Modes: Choose between lean listings (fast, metadata only) or enriched articles (full content)
• Rich Article Data: Full body text, authors with bios, tags, section, publish/modified dates, video metadata
• Fast & Lightweight: Uses CheerioCrawler (no browser needed) for maximum speed and low cost

How It Works

1. Provide Hub or Article URLs - Enter one or more AP News hub URLs (e.g. https://apnews.com/hub/technology) or direct article URLs.
2. Choose Output Mode - Enable "Enrich articles" for full article content, or disable it for fast metadata-only listings.
3. Run the Scraper - The scraper discovers articles from hub pages (with pagination) and extracts the data.

Input

At least one of hubUrls or articleUrls must be provided.
