Build a Tech News Feed in Minutes with the TechCrunch Articles API

Staying on top of the latest tech news is essential for developers, founders, and anyone building in the tech space. But scraping news sites is fragile, time-consuming, and breaks constantly. What if you could pull structured TechCrunch articles with a single API call?

The TechCrunch Articles API gives you exactly that — clean, structured access to the latest articles from TechCrunch, one of the most widely-read tech publications in the world.

What It Does

This REST API returns recent TechCrunch articles in a structured JSON format. You get article titles, authors, publication dates, summaries, and links — everything you need to power a news feed, research dashboard, or content aggregation tool.

You can optionally filter results by category to narrow down to topics like AI, startups, venture capital, or apps.

Quick Start: Fetch Articles with JavaScript

Here's how to pull the latest TechCrunch articles using fetch():

const response = await fetch(
  'https://consolidated-techcrunch-articles-production.up.railway.app/api/techcrunch-articles/articles?category=artificial-intelligence'
);

const articles = await response.json();

articles.data.forEach(article => {
  console.log(`${article.title}`);
  console.log(`  By: ${article.author}`);
  console.log(`  Published: ${article.date}`);
  console.log(`  Link: ${article.url}`);
  console.log('---');
});

That's it. No authentication required for the base endpoint, no complex setup, no web scraping headaches.

Why Use an API Instead of Scraping?

Web scraping breaks when site layouts change. APIs give you a stable, structured contract. This API handles all the extraction and normalization so you can focus on building your product, not maintaining a scraper.
