How to scrape France 24

France 24 is a news and finance site where you can access public articles and content. Developers typically collect article data, metadata, and navigation information from its public pages.

Ujeebu scrapes any public website. Not listed here? Try any URL in the Playground or ask us about a site.

Recipe one call

Use the France 24 recipe: send the URL, get JSON

5 credits (JS) a page
curl -G 'https://api.ujeebu.com/scrape' \
  -H "ApiKey: $UJEEBU_API_KEY" \
  --data-urlencode 'url=https://www.france24.com/en/americas/' \
  --data-urlencode 'recipe=france24/listing'

The answer is {"result": {...}} with the fields of the recipe. Billed like any /scrape call: successful responses cost credits; blocked, timed-out and failed requests are free.

Recipes

Call a recipe by name with the recipe parameter: the Scrape API applies its extract rules and the settings that work on France 24. Each recipe was run on two real France 24 pages and keeps only the fields that came back on both; it is checked again every week, and hidden if it stops working.

Code

Complete scripts: set the UJEEBU_API_KEY environment variable and run them as they are. Each one calls the recipe by name (the Go SDK has no recipe field, so the Go script sends the recipe's rules and settings itself), prints the extracted JSON, and prints the credits the request cost (the Ujb-Credits response header) on stderr. A non-200 answer stops the script with the API's error message.

SDK tabs use the official Ujeebu SDKs (ujeebu-python 0.1.5, @ujeebu-org/ujeebu-sdk 0.1.2, github.com/ujeebu/ujeebu-go v0.1.8); there is no PHP SDK, so the PHP tab calls the API with curl. For agents and scripts, the same status and settings are at /scrape/france24.json.

Limits and etiquette

  • Public pages only. Pages behind a login, and data shown only to signed-in users, are out of scope.
  • Keep the rate modest: fetch pages one after another or with low concurrency, and cache what you already have.
  • robots.txt of www.france24.com (read 2026-11-08): public pages allowed for generic crawlers; no crawl delay set.
  • Read France 24's terms of service before you collect data at scale, and do not collect personal data you have no basis to process. This guide is not legal advice.

Questions

Can you scrape France 24 with Ujeebu?

Yes. 29 of 29 checks of public France 24 pages passed in the last 7 days with the settings on this page.

Which settings work for France 24?

Call /scrape with js=true, wait_for=8000. On the default (rotating) proxy, 29 of 30 attempts passed in the last 7 days. Our retry layer found that this site needs "js + wait 8000".
