Berlingske Scraper

Extract full article details or the newest headlines from Berlingske, one of Denmark's largest and oldest newspapers — no account or subscription needed.

Why use this actor

• No account or login required
• Rich article detail: headline, subheadline, byline, publish/update dates, category, tags, and full body text
• Also fetches the newest headlines site-wide without visiting each article individually
• Stable JSON output suitable for pipelines, spreadsheets, or databases
• Automatic retries on temporary network hiccups

Note on paid articles: Berlingske limits some articles to subscribers. This actor returns everything that's publicly visible and flags such records with _paywalled: true.

How it works

1. Give the actor one or more article URLs, or switch to "latest" mode.
2. In article mode, the actor opens each URL and pulls out every publicly available detail about the story.
3. In latest mode, the actor reads the site-wide newest-articles feed and returns the freshest stories.
4. Results stream into your dataset, ready to download as JSON, CSV, or Excel.

You don't need to manage retries, rate limits, or figure out the site's internal data format — the actor handles all of that.
