An id CBC does not know is `not_found`. - [List articles](https://firecrawl.dev/alexandria/agents/providers/cbc-ca/news/list_articles): Newest CBC items in one or more categories (sections or regions such as `edmonton`, `calgary`, `politics`, `world`) through CBC's aggregate_api `items` listing, optionally limited to a publish-date window (`from` / `to`, UTC calendar days, inclusive) and to content types (story, video). Sorted newest first by publish or last-update time; `page_size` up to 60. The API drops an unknown slug silently and would answer the whole site, so the function checks the API's `x-items-filters` echo: a slug CBC does not know is `not_found`, and every returned row is verified to carry a requested category. Rows are metadata only (title, deck, URL, publish and update instants, categories, media flags); use `get_article` for the text. - [Lookup region](https://firecrawl.dev/alexandria/agents/providers/cbc-ca/news/lookup_region): Resolve a Canadian place name to CBC's location taxonomy through GraphQL `searchCanadianCities`: label (`Edmonton, AB`), taxonomy path (`The Americas/North America/Canada/Alberta/Edmonton`), slug path, coordinates and the taxonomy leaf id. `leaf_slug` is the last segment of the slug path; for CBC's regional sections it is the category slug `list_articles` accepts (`edmonton`, `calgary`, `toronto`). An unknown name is an empty list, not an error. - [Search articles](https://firecrawl.dev/alexandria/agents/providers/cbc-ca/news/search_articles): Keyword search across cbc.ca through the site's own GraphQL `allSearchItems` field, the backend of https://www.cbc.ca/search. Optional section filter (news, sports, radio, music, arts, comedy, books, life), sort by relevance or newest, and a video-only media filter. Fixed pages of 10 hits; `total_count` is the index's total for the query. Each hit carries CBC's dotted `source_id` (the key for `get_article`), title, description, canonical URL, content type, publish and last-updated instants (RFC 3339 UTC and epoch ms), bylines, category slugs and the tracking region (for example `edmonton`). The search index has no date-range argument: use `list_articles` for section or region plus date range. ## 1. Choose this provider when CBC News, Canada's public broadcaster: keyword search across cbc.ca (GraphQL allSearchItems), section and region listings with a publish-date range (aggregate_api/v1/items), the full text of an article with its headline, byline, exact publish and last-updated instants and any correction or clarification notice (GraphQL contentItem), and a Canadian place lookup that resolves a city name to CBC's taxonomy path and regional slug. ## 2. Minimal request Call `POST https://api.firecrawl.dev/v2/scrape` with `{ alexandria: { provider, capability, options } }`. For a batch, send `{ alexandria: [...] }` with up to 10 calls. ```json { "provider": "cbc-ca", "capability": "news/get_article", "options": { "source_id": "9.7378332" } } ``` ## 3. Add provider options Use only the options needed for the task: - `source_id` (string, required): CBC dotted source id (`9.7378332`) or a cbc.ca article URL ending in `-`. Example: `9.7378332` ## 4. Request through your preferred interface ### JavaScript ```javascript const result = await firecrawl.scrape({ alexandria: { provider: "cbc-ca", capability: "news/get_article", options: { source_id: "9.7378332", }, }, }); ``` ### Python ```python result = firecrawl.scrape_alexandria({ "provider": "cbc-ca", "capability": "news/get_article", "options": { "source_id": "9.7378332" } }) ``` ### cURL ```sh curl https://api.firecrawl.dev/v2/scrape \ -H "Authorization: Bearer $FIRECRAWL_API_KEY" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{ "alexandria": { "provider": "cbc-ca", "capability": "news/get_article", "options": { "source_id": "9.7378332" } } }' ``` ### CLI ```sh firecrawl scrape 'cbc-ca/news/get_article' \ --options '{"source_id":"9.7378332"}' ``` ### MCP Call the FCX MCP retrieve tool with this object: ```json { "provider": "cbc-ca", "capability": "news/get_article", "options": { "source_id": "9.7378332" } } ``` Ask for only the returned fields needed by the task. ## 5. Full request shape ```json { "provider": "cbc-ca", "capability": "news/get_article", "options": { "source_id": "9.7378332" } } ``` ## 6. Response data The response includes `success`, `provider`, `capability`, `creditsCost` and `data`.

The park's tallest coaster, which towers over its entrance at 61 metres, has lap bar restraints that pull down over the riders' legs and waist. There are no seat belts.\n\n\"My older two children rode on the cart ahead of us,\" she said. \"I noticed they kept trying to push theirs down tighter. I assured them that they were OK. But once my husband, youngest child and I loaded our cart and headed up the incline, I quickly understood why my older two were messing with theirs. It just didn't feel secure and tight.\"\n\nThe man who died was 42-year-old Hassan Jihad Ibn Kariem, according to Cobb County police. Officials have not released any other information about those who were injured when they were struck by the man.\n\nKariem worked as the information technology manager at a public charter school in Atlanta and before that was the school's technology teacher, according to an online resume.\n\nWitness describes seeing man come out of his seat\n\nLogan Conner said he was on the Goliath with his fiancée when he saw the man come out of his seat.\n\n\"The man started levitating in the air sideways,\" he told NBC. \"We made direct eye contact with him.\"\n\nWATCH | 1 dead, several injured in U.S. roller-coaster incident:\n\nBritny Landry had been on the ride earlier Monday and was waiting in line to go again. She could see part of the Goliath track.\n\n\"We just look, and I just see somebody fly out,\" she told KTVU-TV. She said she wasn't sure if that's what she saw at first. \"Maybe somebody had a bag or something.\"\n\nInvestigators say they spoke with park visitors and employees who saw what happened in the incident Monday at Six Flags Over Georgia in Mableton, about 24 kilometres northwest of Atlanta.\n\nCoasters closed in Canada and U.S.\n\nNine roller-coasters at six North American parks that are similar to the coaster in Georgia were closed \"out of an abundance of caution,\" according to a Six Flags Entertainment Corporation spokesperson, who said staff members and local authorities responded immediately and the park is co-operating with the investigation.\n\n\"We are deeply saddened by the guest incident at our park today,\" the spokesperson said, adding that the company is providing support to guests and staff who were impacted.\n\nCBC News has confirmed that the list of nine rides includes the Behemoth and Leviathan at Canada's Wonderland, north of Toronto. A park spokesperson said it did not have a timeline for when the rides might be available again.\n\nCanada's Wonderland is open to the public for 12 more Halloween-themed evenings and weekends until it closes for the winter.\n\nMontreal's La Ronde amusement park said it was temporarily shutting down its Goliath roller-coaster until an update is received from the manufacturer of the ride. La Ronde was a Six Flags property until this spring, when the park's purchase by EPR Properties was finalized.\n\nAuthorities and Six Flags did not identify the roller-coaster at the Georgia location. However, local TV stations showed video of passengers being evacuated from the Goliath coaster.\n\nThe roller-coaster, which was opened in 2006, reaches top speeds of about 113 km/h and heights of 61 metres, the park's website reports. During about 3½ minutes, riders \"navigate through razor-sharp turns and soar over colossal hills,\" according to the website.\n\n\"I cannot imagine the horror the patrons and employees witnessed today, and my heart aches for the family who lost a loved one,\" Lisa Cupid, chair of the Cobb County Board of Commissioners, said in a statement.
