Articles per day over the last 87 days. The busiest hour is 04:00 UTC — that is when the newsroom pushes its main batch.
The 26 hatched days are gaps in the upstream news archive, not quiet days at Prairie Public NewsRoom: the whole corpus dips on those dates. They are excluded from the median above.
When Prairie Public NewsRoom actually publishes, by hour of day (UTC) and by day of week —
measured from 2,798 timestamps, not from a schedule they advertise.

Does Prairie Public NewsRoom have an official API?
Not a public one. This endpoint is the practical alternative: their articles as
structured JSON, with title, lead, publication time, section, byline and a link back to
the original.

only the last few dozen items and drop them within hours. This index keeps 2,798 of
their articles and lets you filter by date, language and section.
How many articles does Prairie Public NewsRoom publish per day?
33 on a median day, measured across 87 days.
Can I use this commercially?
The API is free and unauthenticated. What you may do with the content is between you
and the publisher: we return metadata, a lead paragraph and a link, not a licence.
