The call
Article pages are the shape the accounts fetch most here, with the country and token that succeed most often. Replace the placeholder path with a real article URL from the site.
curl "https://api.crawlbase.com/?token=YOUR_TOKEN&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.expansion.mx%2Fexample-page"from crawlbase import CrawlingAPI api = CrawlingAPI({'token': 'YOUR_TOKEN'}) r = api.get('https://www.expansion.mx/example-page') html = r['body']
const { CrawlingAPI } = require('crawlbase'); const api = new CrawlingAPI({ token: 'YOUR_TOKEN' }); const r = await api.get('https://www.expansion.mx/example-page');

What breaks, and the fix
Of the failures since 14 Aug 2026, the site answered:
0: 33.3% of failures A status of 0 is a request that never got an answer inside the timeout. Retry once with the JavaScript token if the pattern needs a browser.
403: 16.7% of failures A 403 is the site refusing the exit. Set the country the successful calls use and retry once; a second 403 means the URL itself is protected.
500, 591: 50.0% of failures together A 5xx is the site failing, not the fetch. Retry after a minute.
Run it on a schedule
News moves by the hour. Poll the section or the sitemap for new links, then push the article URLs to the Crawler with a callback so the fetches are paced. The median answer on this site is 1.3s.
