Reuters

Mode: 🔐 Browser · Domain: reuters.com

The Reuters search API sits behind a Datadome anti-bot challenge for direct fetches, so commands run inside a logged-in www.reuters.com tab via the Browser Bridge.

Commands

Command	Description
opencli reuters search	Search Reuters articles (articles-by-search-v2 API)
opencli reuters article-detail	Fetch full article body + metadata for a Reuters URL

Usage Examples

# Search the latest Reuters articles
opencli reuters search "tariff" --limit 10

# Round-trip from search → detail using the `url` column
opencli reuters article-detail "https://www.reuters.com/world/..."

# JSON output
opencli reuters search "tariff" -f json

Columns

reuters search: rank, title, date, section, section_path, authors, url

reuters article-detail: title, date, section, section_path, authors, description, word_count, url, body

--limit accepts integers in [1, 40]. Out-of-range values raise ArgumentError (no silent clamp).

Prerequisites

• Chrome running with at least one tab on www.reuters.com
• Any Datadome / "verify you are human" prompt completed (the search API will return a non-JSON HTML page until the challenge is solved)
• Browser Bridge extension installed
