FAQ

Questions The Guardian owners ask.

  • 01

    Can I retrieve the full text of a Guardian article, not just the headline?

    Yes. Use the get_item capability with the article's path ID. The response includes the full body text, byline, standfirst, publication date, section, tags, and thumbnail image when available.

  • 02

    How far back does the Guardian Content API archive go?

    The Guardian Content API provides access to articles dating back to 1999. You can use search_by_date_range with specific start and end dates to query historical content from any period covered by the archive.

  • 03

    Is a paid subscription required to use this integration?

    No. The Guardian Open Platform offers a free developer API key that supports up to 12 calls per second and 5,000 calls per day. This is sufficient for most research and automation workflows.

  • 04

    Can I filter articles by topic, section, or contributor?

    Yes. The search_content capability accepts section, tag, and date filters. Use list_sections to discover available sections and list_tags to find keywords, contributors, and series to refine your queries.
