About AP News

AP News is the public news website of the Associated Press, publishing wire journalism across world, US, business, politics, and other beats. Its public article and topic pages expose headlines, bylines, timestamps, and article body text that are worth scraping for news monitoring.

Scraping note: Article pages render server-side and expose JSON-LD NewsArticle metadata, so a single fetch returns the headline, dates, and body in structured form.

Example AP News page

https://apnews.com/hub/business

Pass a URL like this as url= to the Universal Web Scraper API and get it back as JSON.

Fields you can extract from AP News

check_small headline check_small byline check_small publish timestamp check_small article body check_small section check_small tags

Common use: A media-monitoring platform scrapes AP News topic hubs to capture breaking wire stories and their timestamps for a given beat.

Everything you need to scrape AP News

Residential proxies keep your own IP out of every request, the JSON comes back clean, and 1,000 free requests a month let you prove ap news scraper works before you add a card.

AP News Scraper API FAQ

Is it legal to scrape AP News?

expand_more

Scraping publicly accessible AP News data is generally legal in the US under the Ninth Circuit's hiQ v. LinkedIn ruling, which held that scraping public web data does not violate the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act. It does not override AP News's own Terms of Service, which are a contract matter, so check those for your use case and comply with data laws such as GDPR. This is general information, not legal advice.

How do I scrape AP News without getting blocked?

expand_more

You scrape AP News without getting blocked by sending the URL to the Universal Web Scraper API, which fetches it through rotating residential proxies and retries on soft blocks. Your own IP is never used, so AP News's anti-bot layer sees ordinary residential traffic instead of a server.

What data does the AP News Scraper API return?

expand_more

Through the Universal Web Scraper API you get the AP News page back as JSON: rendered HTML, plain text, or auto-parsed content depending on the parse mode you pass. You choose the URL, Chocodata returns the data.

How much does the AP News Scraper API cost?

expand_more

The AP News Scraper API costs nothing to start: the Free plan includes 1,000 requests per month (5,000 credits) across all 235 targets. After that, monthly plans begin at $19, or you top up pay-as-you-go at $0.90 per 1,000 successful requests. One request is 5 credits, and non-2xx responses are never charged.

Do I need a AP News account or login?

expand_more

No AP News login is needed for public pages. You point the Universal Web Scraper API at a publicly accessible AP News URL with your Chocodata API key; you do not hand over any AP News credentials. Login-gated content is not supported.
