BOUNTY: Get all subfolders from msn.com

[rcmaehl]

News redirection currently needs serious improvement. To do so, I need to figure out all the news subfolders on msn.com ( e.g. msn.com/techandscience or msn.com/autos/enthusiasts ).

Looking for a simple list of all subfolders from MSN.com

There seems to be an api endpoint for resolving data that gets displayed when viewing msn.com. Viewing https://www.msn.com/resolver/api/resolve/v3/config/?expType=AppConfig&expInstance=default&apptype=hub&v=20231109.593 responds with a json object with a plethora of data. At configs.shared/msn-ns/NavigationData/news you can see the list of tabs, and at shared/msn-ns/CategoryData/default you can find a list of all the categories (for example, the categoryDocumentLink autos refers to https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/autos)

I sent you this and the other bounty. It looks like subcategories (or at least some of them (e.g. msn.com/en-us/entertainment/comics) are not listed in the json however. I can probably work around that but let me know if you find somewhere else that lists the categories and subcategories.

Thank you! And sure thing, I'll take another look later and see if i can find more categories. MSN's apis are pretty arbitrary.

Sounds good. Thank you!

Hey so fun fact - I saw the thing about this being blacklisted on Google, but their AI still told me about this :)
