RHPS News - Raw Data

Error!

As of Oct. 2021 this is temporarily disabled as the database has grown to be too big.

This json file contains a real-time dump of every single article in the news site database. It contains over 26,000 articles, with the archive beginning on 2/25/2019.

Please note this archive is *very* large. It will probably crash a text editor if you try to open it. If you are looking to browse or search the data, I recommend using something like Dadroit JSON Viewer. The dump is provided as JSON and can be ingested into any database for additional manipulation.


If you use this data, please attribute and provide a link to rhpsnews.com. There is a *lot* of junk that comes through google. Ebay listings, local shows, tickets postings, podcasts, etc. Good luck.


The JSON Data has the following structure. Not all articles are guarenteed to have all fields present.


      {
        title: String,
        date: String,
        description: String,
        link: String,
        published: Boolean,
        show: Boolean,
        reviewed: Boolean,
        ogData: {
          siteName: String,
          contentType: String,
          url: String,

          description: String,

        },
        source: String
      };
