Cointelegraph Scraper

Pull cryptocurrency news from Cointelegraph at scale — headlines, summaries, full article bodies, authors, topic tags, categories, publish timestamps, cover images, and view counts, across 15 native-language editions. Built for crypto analysts, quant and sentiment traders, and content teams who need a clean, structured news feed without copying articles out of the browser one at a time.

Why This Scraper?

• 15 native-language editions — English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Japanese, Brazilian Portuguese, Arabic, Russian, Turkish, Korean, Chinese (Simplified & Traditional), Vietnamese, and Hindi — each returning native headlines, summaries, and bodies with the correct per-edition article URLs.
• Three discovery modes in one actor — grab the latest headlines feed, run a keyword search across the full archive, or browse every article under a topic tag (bitcoin, ethereum, regulation, defi, nft). Flip one dropdown to switch.
• Full article body as clean plain text — not a truncated preview. Every paragraph, heading, and list item is extracted and ready for sentiment models, summarization, or republishing.
• View counts on every article — a built-in engagement signal for ranking trending stories and weighting sentiment, included at no extra request.
• Author name and profile URL on every row — track specific journalists or build a contributor map across the publication.
• Topic tags plus category on every article — Markets, Bitcoin, Regulation, DeFi and the granular tag slugs, so you can filter and cluster news without re-reading the body.
• Dual publish timestamps — a machine-sortable ISO 8601 timestamp and a human-readable date on the same row, so dashboards and humans both get what they need.
• Up to 100,000 articles per run — set a cap or use 0 to sweep an entire feed until it's exhausted, for both real-time monitoring and deep historical archive pulls.

Tips for Best Results

• Use latest for monitoring, tag for coverage, search for topics. Latest gives you the freshest feed, a tag pulls the full history under a theme, and search finds articles matching free-text words anywhere in the archive.
• Sweep headlines first, then enrich the ones you care about. Run with includeFullText: false to grab a fast, cheap list of titles, tags, and view counts, then re-run with full text on for just the stories worth reading in depth.
• Match the tag slug to the URL form. In tag mode, query is the slug exactly as it appears in a Cointelegraph tag URL — lowercase, hyphenated (e.g. defi, nft, regulation).
• Pick the right edition up front. Each language is a separate edition with its own articles and URLs — set language to the market you're studying rather than translating English output later.
• Sort by publishedAt, rank by views. The ISO timestamp gives you a clean time series for event studies, while the view count is your built-in popularity signal for surfacing what's trending.
• Start small to validate, then scale. Try maxResults: 25 to confirm the mode and language return what you expect, then raise the cap — set 0 for an exhaustive pull.
