# Get an SCMP article's content

`GET /scmp/article`

## Request

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

Returns one public South China Morning Post article's metadata and body paragraphs from a canonical article URL. `content_locked` and `paywall_types` are the upstream's own restricted-access signals for that article, reported exactly as the site returns them; the body returned here is the same one the site's own page serves to an anonymous visitor. An article whose page genuinely withholds its body is reported as a restricted-access error instead of a hollow or truncated response.
