Fox News Scraper

Extract full article text or the newest headlines from Fox News (foxnews.com), one of the most-visited news websites in the United States — no account or subscription needed.

Why use this actor

• No account or login required — Fox News Digital is fully free, ad-supported, no paywall
• Full article text included, not just a summary — headline, description, byline, section, keywords, word count, publish/update dates, lead image
• Latest headlines mode returns the full article HTML body inline, not just teasers
• 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 Google Publisher feed and returns the newest stories, including full body HTML.
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.
