# Get Guardian live blog snapshot

`GET /guardian/live`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.crawlora.net/api/v1`
- URL: `https://api.crawlora.net/api/v1/guardian/live`
- Auth: API key in header `x-api-key`

Returns a bounded text snapshot of one public Guardian live blog: the headline, the key-events timeline, and the update blocks with timestamps, headings, bylines, and body paragraphs. This is a single page fetch of the public page at a canonical live-blog URL — not a live stream or polling feed. URLs must use the dated www.theguardian.com section /live/ path, e.g. https://www.theguardian.com/sport/live/2026/aug/08/<slug>/.
