Fields you get

An article page carries a headline, a date and an author, usually in an ld+json Article block, and the body in the HTML. The block often names the section too.

What breaks, and the fix

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

414: 75.9% of failures 414 is not a standard HTTP answer; the site sent it as a refusal. Treat it like a block: retry once with the JavaScript token and the country the successful calls use, then stop.
504: 11.1% of failures A 504 is a timeout: the page did not finish inside the limit. Retry once, and keep your own client timeout above the median answer time shown for this site.
517: 5.6% of failures 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 16.3s.
