Article Schema

The Article schema is designed for aggregating news articles, blog posts, and other written content.

Fields

Field	Type	Required	Identity	Description
title	string	Yes	Yes (1)	Article title
source	string	Yes	Yes (2)	Publication or website name
url	string	No	No	Link to the full article
published_at	string	No	No	Publication date
summary	string	No	No	Article summary or excerpt
author	string	No	No	Author name
tags	string[]	No	No	Topics or categories

Identity Fields

The identity is computed from title + source in that order. This handles cases where the same article might appear on multiple aggregator sites but should be deduplicated based on the original source.

Example Item

{
  "title": "The Future of Serverless Computing",
  "source": "TechCrunch",
  "url": "https://techcrunch.com/2026/01/20/serverless-future",
  "published_at": "2026-01-20",
  "summary": "A deep dive into where serverless is heading in 2026...",
  "author": "Jane Smith",
  "tags": ["serverless", "cloud", "infrastructure"]
}
