POST /api/spiegel/feeds

Price: 1 credit

Read a Der Spiegel RSS feed: the newest articles of a section or of the front page, with headline, teaser, publication time, section and a lead image.

How to use it

Cheapest way to get the very latest Der Spiegel articles. feed takes a section path: 'schlagzeilen' (front page, 30 items), one of the nine main sections ('politik', 'ausland', 'panorama', 'sport', 'wirtschaft', 'wissenschaft', 'kultur', 'netzwelt', 'gesundheit'), a sub-section ('wissenschaft/medizin', 'sport/fussball', 'netzwelt/games'), 'plus' for the SPIEGEL+ feed or 'international' for the English edition. Each item carries id (the article uuid), article_title, description, web_url, published_at, language, section and image; feed id into spiegel/articles for the body. Feeds hold only the newest 10-30 items and cannot be paged — use spiegel/articles/search to go further back. byline and author_email are only present on the 'plus' feed.

Errors

• 422 — Not a Der Spiegel section path or feed URL Check the fields against this schema. A URN with the wrong prefix is the most common cause.
• 408 — The request ran past its time limit Raise `timeout` in the request body, up to the maximum this endpoint documents. Lowering `count` or turning off the `with_*` flags also helps, because less work finishes sooner.
• 412 — Der Spiegel publishes no feed at this section path Retrying will not help: either the entity does not exist, or the input points at a different one.
• 429 — Too many requests: a rate limit or a usage window is exhausted When the response carries an X-Retry-After header, wait that many seconds and retry: the same number is in the body as `detail.retry_after`, and the limit clears once that window passes. The message in the body names the limit that was hit.
• 500 — Something broke on our side Retrying will not help. If it keeps happening, send us the X-Request-ID from the response headers.
• 529 — Rate limit reached, or the endpoint is overloaded Wait at least 30 seconds, then retry.

Response headers

• X-Error — Error message text (present only on error)
• X-Request-ID — Unique request identifier
• X-Execution-Time — Execution time in seconds
• X-Result-Count — How many records the body carries. 0 means an empty result, which is a normal answer and not by itself an error. A non-zero count can come back together with X-Error when the failure happened partway through — read this header and X-Error independently.
• X-Total-Available-Results — How many records exist for this query, when the endpoint can say. On a `dry_run` request this is the answer and the body is empty. It saturates: the endpoint's documented maximum means 'at least that many', any smaller number is exact.
• X-Warning — Present when the request body carried keys this endpoint does not document. They were ignored, so any filter you meant to apply through them did not apply. Check the spelling against this schema and retry.
• X-Retry-After — Seconds to wait before retrying. Present only on 429.
