24.kg Scraper

Extract full article text or the newest headlines from 24.kg, Kyrgyzstan's leading news agency — no account or subscription needed.

Why use this actor

• No account or login required — fully free, open-access site with no paywall
• Full article text included, not just a summary — headline, description, byline (when published), publish/modified dates, section, and image, reconstructed into clean paragraphs
• Covers both languages the site publishes in — Russian (most sections) and Kyrgyz (the /kyrgyzcha/ section) — each record is tagged with its actual language
• Stable JSON output suitable for pipelines, spreadsheets, or databases
• Automatic retries on temporary network hiccups

How it works

1. Give the actor one or more article URLs, or switch to "latest" mode to get the newest stories automatically.
2. In article mode, the actor opens each URL and pulls out the full text and every publicly available detail about the story.
3. In latest mode, the actor reads the site's RSS feed and returns the newest headlines with a short teaser.
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.

Output

Article mode — one record per URL (real captured output):

{
  "_input": "https://24.kg/proisshestvija/386730_vgorodeosh_zaderjali_inostrantsa_pyitavshegosya_dat_vzyatku_militsioneru/",
  "_source": "S1-meta+html",
  "_scrapedAt": "2026-08-26T17:19:43Z",
  "headline": "В городе Ош задержали иностранца, пытавшегося дать взятку милиционеру",
  "description": "В Оше задержан гражданин соседнего государства при даче взятки сотруднику милиции.",
  "articleBody": "В Оше задержан гражданин соседнего государства при даче взятки сотруднику милиции.\n\nКак сообщили в УВД города, ранее был выявлен иностранный гражданин, 1980 года рождения, который находился и работал на территории города без регистрации и разрешительных документов.\n\n... 3 more paragraphs ...",
  "author": "Айжан КЕРИМОВА",
  "datePublished": "2026-08-26T22:51:00+06:00",
  "dateModified": "2026-08-26T22:43:48+06:00",
  "section": "Происшествия",
  "image": "https://24.kg/files/media/466/466523.jpg",
  "keywords": "новости, новости Кыргызстана, новости Киргизии, Кыргызстан, Бишкек, новости Бишкека, Киргизия, важное, новости сегодня",
  "_lang": "ru-RU"
}

A Kyrgyz-language article (/kyrgyzcha/ section) comes back the same shape, just with "_lang": "ky-KG" and, on some pieces, "author": null — not every Kyrgyz-language article carries a byline.

Latest headlines mode — one record per headline, real captured output:

{
  "_input": "latest",
  "_source": "S2-rss",
  "_scrapedAt": "2026-08-26T17:19:43Z",
  "title": "Владимир Путин намерен усилить удары по Киеву — Bloomberg",
  "link": "https://24.kg/obschestvo/386731_vladimir_putin_nameren_usilit_udaryi_pokievu_Bloomberg/",
  "teaser": "Власти РФ планируют новую эскалацию войны против Украины, пишет Bloomberg со ссылкой на близкие к Кремлю анонимные источники.",
  "category": "Общество",
  "pubDate": "Wed, 26 Aug 2026 23:18:00 +0600",
  "guid": "https://24.kg/obschestvo/386731_vladimir_putin_nameren_usilit_udaryi_pokievu_Bloomberg/"
}

Latest mode returns a short teaser only — call article mode on the link if you need the full text.

Field	Type	Description
_input	string	The URL you requested, or "latest", for traceability.
_source	string	Which strategy produced this record.
_scrapedAt	string	UTC timestamp of when the record was captured.
headline / title	string	Article headline.
description	string	Short article description/dek (article mode).
articleBody	string	Full plain-text article content (article mode).
author	string	Byline name (article mode) — legitimately null when the article carries no byline.
datePublished / dateModified	string	ISO 8601 publish/modified timestamps with timezone offset (article mode).
section	string	Site section name (article mode).
image	string	Lead image URL (article mode).
keywords	string	Raw comma-separated keywords string as published (article mode).
_lang	string	Article language — "ru-RU" or "ky-KG" (article mode).

category	string	Feed category (latest mode).
pubDate	string	RFC 822 publish timestamp as given by the feed (latest mode).
guid	string	Feed item GUID — same as link on this site (latest mode).

A record with _error instead of article fields means that URL could not be processed — for example, "_error": "not_found" for a removed article, or "_error": "not_article" for a URL that points at a category listing rather than a story.

Good to know

• The site is bilingual — most sections publish in Russian, the /kyrgyzcha/ section publishes in Kyrgyz. Both are returned exactly as published, not translated; use _lang to tell them apart.
• No English edition exists on this site.
• latest mode is capped by the site's own RSS feed size (about 50 items per fetch).
