Reuters Article Scraper

Extract full article text, headline, authors, publication date, and metadata from reuters.com article URLs. Reuters is the world's largest international news agency, offering neutral wire-service reporting across business, markets, politics, and world news.

Why Use This Actor?

• Bypasses DataDome - accesses Reuters articles without a real browser or proxy.
• Financial wire monitoring - Reuters breaks market-moving news before most other sources.
• Global coverage - Reuters reports from virtually every country and in multiple languages.
• Institutional research - Reuters is the gold standard for factual, neutral news across academia and finance.

Cron Schedule: Auto-Fetch Newest Articles

Combine mode: "latest" and mode: "article" to keep a fresh feed running on autopilot:

1. Schedule a recurring run of this Actor with {"mode": "latest", "limit": 20} via Apify Schedules (UI ▸ Schedules ▸ Create new). A cron expression like */30 * * * * runs it every 30 minutes.
2. Webhook the dataset of the latest run into another Actor run with mode: "article" and the new URLs as input — Apify integrations let you chain runs via the "Actor finished" webhook without any glue code.
3. The article-mode run extracts the full body, image, authors, and metadata for each URL and appends to your master dataset.

Common cron expressions:

Frequency	Cron
Every 15 minutes	*/15 * * * *
Hourly	0 * * * *
Every 6 hours	0 */6 * * *
Daily at 06:00 UTC	0 6 * * *

Notes

• DataDome bypassed - accesses Reuters articles without a real browser or proxies.
• Works on the Apify platform out of the box - no residential proxies needed.
• Full article extraction (content, authors, metadata) is supported.
