}NPR is served through the Universal Web Scraper API
You scrape NPR with Chocodata's Universal Web Scraper API: point it at any NPR URL and get the page back as structured JSON. Residential proxies, rotation, and retries are handled for you, with no NPR-specific setup. The same API key and credits work here as on every dedicated endpoint.
About NPR
NPR is the U.S. public radio network whose website publishes news articles, audio stories, and program transcripts across national, world, and cultural beats. Story pages expose the headline, byline, date, audio links, and full text or transcript that are useful to extract.
Scraping note: Story URLs follow a /YYYY/MM/DD/id/slug pattern and pages render server-side, so a single fetch returns the full article HTML.
Example NPR page
https://www.npr.org/2024/01/01/1234567890/example-story-slug Pass a URL like this as url= to the Universal Web Scraper API and get it back as JSON.
Fields you can extract from NPR
Common use: A public-affairs research tool scrapes NPR story pages to archive reporting and transcripts on a beat with full attribution and audio links.
Everything you need to scrape NPR
You never expose your own IP, you get validated JSON instead of raw HTML, and the free tier covers npr scraper at 1,000 requests a month with no card required.
Clean structured JSON
The NPR page comes back as JSON in the parse mode you choose: auto, html, text, or json. No selectors to maintain for npr scraper.
Bypasses CAPTCHAs and anti-bot defenses
We get past CAPTCHAs, IP rate limiting, IP blocking, and headless-browser detection on NPR using rotating, country-matched residential proxies, so requests look like real users and your own IP stays private.
One API call
Scraping NPR is one simple API call. The same key works across our whole web scraping API: all 235 targets, any language, no SDK required.
Geo-targeting and JS rendering
Pass a country for proxy geo-targeting and turn on JavaScript rendering when a NPR page needs it. npr data api handles dynamic content and region-locked results.
Scrape NPR in one API request
Send one API request to the Universal Web Scraper API with a NPR URL and read the page back as JSON. Chocodata routes it through residential proxies and retries soft blocks, so npr api works without a NPR-specific integration.

| parse | enum | optional | auto |
| country | string | optional | us |
Enum parameters accept a fixed set of values. For example, parse
