Publishing volume
Articles per day over the last 90 days. The busiest hour is 16:00 UTC — that is when the newsroom pushes its main batch.
The 1 hatched days are gaps in the upstream news archive, not quiet days at 聯合新聞網: the whole corpus dips on those dates. They are excluded from the median above.
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.
How do I get their RSS feed?
Most publishers expose one at /rss or /feed, but feeds carry
only the last few dozen items and drop them within hours. This index keeps 93,287 of
their articles and lets you filter by date, language and section.
How many articles does 聯合新聞網 publish per day?
1,114 on a median day, measured across 90 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.
