1 credit / call news try it in the playground →

One TechCrunch story by URL, slug or id: headline, excerpt, link, dates, authors, section, keywords, reading time, categories, tags and image. The article body is not returned.

Every response includes credits_used: the credits this call cost.

Parameters

name	type	description
`url`	string	Story URL. Example: `https://techcrunch.com/2023/11/17/sam-altman-is-out-as-openais-ceo/`
`slug`	string	Story slug instead of url.
`id`	integer	Story id instead of url.

Every endpoint also takes fresh, raw, fields (see lean responses and caching).

Example

curl "https://api.api.sh/techcrunch/v1/post?url=https%3A%2F%2Ftechcrunch.com%2F2023%2F11%2F17%2Fsam-altman-is-out-as-openais-ceo%2F" \
  -H "x-api-key: $APISH_KEY"

import os, requests

res = requests.get(
    "https://api.api.sh/techcrunch/v1/post",
    params={"url": "https://techcrunch.com/2023/11/17/sam-altman-is-out-as-openais-ceo/"},
    headers={"x-api-key": os.environ["APISH_KEY"]},
    timeout=120,
)
res.raise_for_status()
data = res.json()

const url = new URL("https://api.api.sh/techcrunch/v1/post");
url.searchParams.set("url", "https://techcrunch.com/2023/11/17/sam-altman-is-out-as-openais-ceo/");

const res = await fetch(url, { headers: { "x-api-key": process.env.APISH_KEY } });
if (!res.ok) throw new Error(`${res.status} ${await res.text()}`);
const data = await res.json();

Response

A JSON object with the fields described above, plus raw (the source's own data), cached, fetched_at and credits_used. Errors return {"success": false, "error": "…"} with the HTTP status (see errors). A lookup that ran but found nothing (404) costs the price above; refused calls and errors on our side are free (what's charged).

The fastest way to see the full response is the playground: it runs this endpoint with your account and shows the exact JSON.
