Clura’s Chrome extension includes a CNN News Scraper template that extracts structured article data from the currently open CNN homepage or section/category pages. This template is built for journalists, researchers, analysts, marketers, and media teams who track news trends on CNN and want to convert visible headlines into clean, structured datasets.
After you navigate to a specific CNN section (such as World, Business, Politics, Technology, or Health) or the homepage, the scraper reads the article cards displayed on the page. You can review and customize which fields are extracted, confirm navigation type (pagination or infinite scroll depending on the section layout), and add additional custom fields if required. Once run, the scraper collects article data across pages, saves everything to your Clura account, and allows export as CSV or JSON for media monitoring, research, or reporting.
