Com APIflexieduconsult.com.ng ↗
Access Nigerian university admissions news, JAMB, WAEC, and Post-UTME articles from flexieduconsult.com.ng via 2 structured JSON endpoints.
What is the Com API?
The Flexi Edu Consult API provides access to Nigerian educational news content from flexieduconsult.com.ng through 2 endpoints, returning articles with 8 response fields each including title, full body text, publication timestamp, and associated PDF URLs. The list_news endpoint delivers paginated article summaries ordered by most recent first, while get_article fetches a single article by its unique document ID.
curl -X GET 'https://api.parse.bot/scraper/cd3d2ef3-19fa-4f61-9818-c87334abaa0e/list_news?page_size=5' \ -H 'X-API-Key: $PARSE_API_KEY'
Typed, relational, agent-ready
A generated client with real types, enums, and the links between objects — the structure a flat JSON response can't carry. Autocompletes in your editor and reads cleanly to coding agents.

}About the Com API
Endpoints and Data Coverage
The API exposes two endpoints covering educational news published on flexieduconsult.com.ng. list_news returns paginated results with each article object containing id, title, content, timestamp, imageUrl, pdfUrl, pdfThumbUrl, and tableData. The page_size parameter accepts integers between 1 and 100 to control how many articles are returned per page. Pagination is handled via an opaque next_page_token string returned in each response — pass it back as page_token in the next request to advance through the result set.
Single Article Retrieval
get_article accepts an article_id — a Firestore document ID such as WAUXmgioagIl3J9Wbx1S obtained from a prior list_news call — and returns the full article record. The response includes the complete content body text, an ISO 8601 timestamp, imageUrl for the featured image, and pdfUrl plus pdfThumbUrl for any associated PDF document. The tableData field carries structured tabular data where the article includes cut-off mark tables, merit lists, or similar formatted content common in Nigerian admissions coverage.
Content Focus
Articles span topics typical of Nigerian secondary and tertiary education: JAMB UTME registration and results, WAEC examination schedules and results, Post-UTME screening details for individual universities, and general admissions news. Content is ordered chronologically with most recent articles first, making the list_news endpoint suitable for monitoring new announcements as they are published.
The Com API is a managed, monitored endpoint for flexieduconsult.com.ng — not a raw scraper you maintain. Every endpoint is automatically health-checked on a schedule, and when flexieduconsult.com.ng changes and a check fails, the API is automatically queued for repair and re-verified. It is built to keep working as the site underneath it changes.
This isn't an official flexieduconsult.com.ng API — it's an independent, maintained REST wrapper over public data. Where the source has no official API (or only a limited one), Parse gives you a stable contract over a source that never promised one, and keeps it current. Need a new endpoint or field? You can revise it yourself in plain English and the agent rebuilds it against the live site in minutes — contributing the change back to the shared API is free.

Does flexieduconsult.com.ng have an official developer API?+
What does `tableData` contain and when is it populated?+
tableData holds structured tabular content extracted from articles that include formatted data such as university cut-off marks, screening schedules, or merit list breakdowns. For articles without tabular content, the field is typically empty or null.Can I filter `list_news` results by topic, university, or exam type?+
list_news endpoint does not currently support filtering by topic, institution name, or exam type — it returns all articles ordered by most recent first, and you control page size via page_size. You can fork this API on Parse and revise it to add a keyword or category filter endpoint.How fresh is the article data relative to the source site?+
timestamp reflecting the original publication date. Freshness depends on when content is published on flexieduconsult.com.ng; the API does not expose a separate 'last indexed' or 'last updated' field, so the timestamp is the best available freshness signal.
