Cnbc Article Scraper

What does CNBC Article Scraper do?

CNBC Article Scraper takes one or more CNBC article ids and pushes full article detail — id, type, brand/section, premium flag, source, and the full structured body content — one dataset row per article.

It talks directly to the same internal GraphQL backend the CNBC website's own front end uses (webql-redesign.cnbcfm.com), reverse-engineered by live MITM capture against the real CNBC Android app — a real Apollo-style GraphQL persisted query (getArticleData, exact hash captured live, never guessed). No CNBC account, no API key, no scraping setup. This is the article-detail slice of CNBC All-in-One API, split out as its own focused Actor.

Why use CNBC Article Scraper?

• Full body text, not just a summary — regular (non-premium) articles return their complete body content anonymously
• No account needed — every read request works fully anonymously, no CNBC login
• Batch by id — pass any number of article ids in one run, get one dataset row per article
• Use cases: news archiving, financial research pipelines, content aggregation, media monitoring, enriching an article-id feed (e.g. from cnbc-news-feed-scraper) with full text

How to use CNBC Article Scraper

1. Find CNBC article ids — from a CNBC article URL (the trailing numeric id), from cnbc-all-in-one-api's news-feed endpoints, or from a spin-off feed Actor.
2. Paste those ids into the articleIds input field.
3. Run the Actor. Each article's full detail is pushed to the dataset as it's fetched.
4. Download results as JSON, CSV, or Excel from the Output tab.

Input

Field	Type	Description
articleIds	integer[]	Required. Numeric CNBC article ids (from a cnbc.com article URL, cnbc-news-feed-scraper, or cnbc-all-in-one-api).

Example:

{
    "articleIds": [108351154, 108350000]
}

Output

One dataset row per article id:

{
    "articleId": 108351154,
    "article": {
        "id": 108351154,
        "type": "cnbcnewsstory",
        "brand": "makeit",
        "premium": false,
        "section": { "id": 105444471, "color": null, "__typename": "franchise" },
        "sourceOrganization": [{ "id": 80000022, "name": "CNBC.com", "url": "https://www.cnbc.com/..." }],
        "body": {
            "isAuthenticated": false,
            "content": ["...structured body nodes (paragraphs, links, embeds) as returned by CNBC..."]
        }
    }
}

Real, live-verified sample from a non-premium article (articleId: 108351154) — body.content came back with 9 real structured content nodes including full paragraph text and embedded links.

Known limitations

• Premium articles are paywalled server-side. Articles with premium: true (Investing Club / CNBC Pro content) come back with an empty body.content array when fetched anonymously — this is CNBC enforcing its paywall on the server, not a bug in this Actor, and there is no anonymous way around it. Regular (premium: false) articles — the large majority of CNBC's output — return full body text with no auth at all.
• This Actor covers only /article. For news feeds, search, market/quote data, and other CNBC endpoints, see the parent CNBC All-in-One API.

Pricing

Pay per event. Charged article ($0.002 on the FREE plan) once per article id successfully fetched. See the Actor's Pricing tab for current rates.
