Under the hood

How our NY Post pipeline handles the hard parts

Modern news sites use aggressive caching, dynamic ad injection, and infinite scroll. Here is how we extract clean data.

Infinite scroll
Pagination traversal

NY Post relies heavily on infinite scroll for category pages and continuous reading. We intercept background XHR requests and API calls to extract subsequent pages without rendering the entire DOM, saving compute and ensuring complete capture.

Dynamic DOM
Ad injection filtering

Articles are heavily fragmented by dynamic ad slots and promotional widgets. Our parsers target the core article body containers and strip out inline scripts, injected ads, and recommended reading blocks to deliver clean text.

Rate limiting
Proxy rotation and pacing

High-frequency scraping triggers IP blocks from NY Post CDN providers. We distribute requests across US residential proxies and pace our crawlers to mimic natural reader behaviour, avoiding 429 Too Many Requests errors.

Timestamp normalisation
Standardised datetime objects

Publication and update times are often displayed in relative formats or varying time zones. We extract the raw ISO timestamps from the page metadata to ensure accurate, normalised temporal data.

Subdomain handling
Unified schema across properties

NY Post operates distinct subdomains like pagesix.com and decider.com. Our pipeline normalises the varied HTML structures across these properties into a single, unified output schema.

Applications

Who uses NY Post data

Teams across industries use nypost.com data to build competitive products and smarter operations.

01
Sentiment Analysis

Financial and political analysts process article text to gauge public sentiment and media bias on specific topics or entities.

02
Media Monitoring

PR agencies track client mentions, executive coverage, and crisis events across Metro, Business, and Page Six sections.

03
NLP Model Training

Machine learning teams use the vast corpus of colloquial and formal news text to train language models and entity recognition systems.

04
Event Detection

Algorithmic trading firms monitor breaking news feeds to detect macroeconomic events and corporate announcements instantly.

05
Competitor Analysis

Competing publishers analyse NY Post article velocity, author output, and topic selection to optimise their own content strategies.

06
Brand Safety

Why DataFlirt

"The New York Post publishes thousands of high-velocity news items daily, forming a critical dataset for sentiment analysis and event detection."

Media monitoring teams underestimate the complexity of news scraping. Reliable extraction requires handling infinite scroll, dynamic ad injections, video players, and strict rate limits. DataFlirt manages this infrastructure so your data science team can focus on NLP models rather than maintaining brittle CSS selectors.

Common questions.

About nypost.com scraping, legality, and pipeline operations.

Ask us directly →
Can you extract articles from Page Six and Decider?

Yes. Our pipeline supports nypost.com as well as its major subdomains including pagesix.com and decider.com, mapping them to a unified schema.

How do you handle article updates?

News articles are frequently updated after initial publication. We use hash-based change detection to monitor target URLs and emit a new record when the body text or headline changes.

Is the extracted text clean?

Yes. We strip all inline advertisements, newsletter signup forms, recommended article links, and JavaScript tracking codes from the article body.

Can I scrape historical archives?

Yes. We can traverse sitemaps and category pagination to extract historical articles dating back years, depending on your specific requirements.

Do you extract images and videos?

We extract the URLs, captions, and metadata for embedded images and videos. We do not download and host the raw media files.

How fast can you deliver breaking news?

For time-sensitive use cases, we can configure high-frequency polling on specific sections or RSS feeds to deliver new articles within minutes of publication via Webhook.
