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.

Run in Playground

curl "https://api.crawlbase.com/?token=YOUR_TOKEN&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.lesechos.fr%2F1995%2F01%2Fnouvel-an-847273"

from crawlbase import CrawlingAPI
api = CrawlingAPI({'token': 'YOUR_TOKEN'})

r = api.get('https://www.lesechos.fr/1995/01/nouvel-an-847273')
html = r['body']

const { CrawlingAPI } = require('crawlbase');
const api = new CrawlingAPI({ token: 'YOUR_TOKEN' });

const r = await api.get('https://www.lesechos.fr/1995/01/nouvel-an-847273');

Fields you get

Structured data Crawlbase found on lesechos.fr, by page type. These are the schema.org types in the page, the fields your parser can read straight from the JSON-LD block:

Home: WebSite, Organization, BreadcrumbList
Other: WebSite, Organization, BreadcrumbList, NewsArticle

What breaks, and the fix

Of the failures since 14 Aug 2026, the site answered:

403: 68.0% 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.

0: 13.6% 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.

400: 8.7% of failures 400 means the site refused the fetch. Treat it like a block: retry once with the JavaScript token and the country the successful calls use, then stop.

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 2.0s.
