Unofficial, reverse-engineered wrapper around MSN's own public content API. Fetches full-text detail for one or more MSN news articles — one dataset row per article.

What

Given one or more MSN article ids (e.g. from msn-news-search-scraper), pushes each article's complete body text, title, abstract, source, and publish date to the dataset.

Why

MSN's feed only carries a short abstract per item. This fills in the complete article body so you don't have to build your own scraper against MSN's web frontend.

Input

FieldTypeRequiredDescription
marketstring (select)YesMSN locale/market code the article ids were found under, e.g. en-us.
idsarray of stringsYesOne or more article ids, e.g. AA2edOWm (from msn-news-search-scraper's items[].id).

Output

One dataset row per article:

{
"id": "AA2edOWm",
"title": "...",
"abstract": "...",
"body": "<p>...full article HTML...</p>",
"sourceHref": "https://www.newsweek.com/...",
"providerName": "Newsweek",
"publishedDateTime": "2026-10-14T13:33:48Z",
"readTimeMin": 5,
"market": "en-us"
}

Pricing

Pay-per-event: article — one charge per article successfully fetched.

Known limitations

  • Article body length and completeness follow MSN's own publisher feed — some publishers' articles are naturally shorter than others.
  • An id that no longer exists or isn't available in the given market is skipped with a warning in the run log, not a hard failure for the whole run.
  • This is an unofficial, reverse-engineered integration, not affiliated with or endorsed by Microsoft Corporation. Behavior may change if MSN changes its API.
