NYT has a public api that can be used to track some so-called "stealth edits". Full text is not supported, but the API has endpoints that provide headlines, abstracts, lead paragraphs, and article word counts.
Everything should work. Headlines that do not appear to have changed are resulting in different MD5 hashes and being duplicated in database. I will fix that at some point.
- why are some articles/edits missing?
- The tracker uses the Archive endpoint, which is only updated three times per day (around 3:30PT, 11:30PT, and 19:30PT). Articles can be published and edited before the tracker sees them. If you do not like this, build your own. It takes like 15 minutes.

When Restaurants Meet Retail Therapy
Tuesday, August 16, 2022
You went out for a bite, then realized you need groceries (or even a gift). These spots have you covered.
When I think about the earliest days of the pandemic in New York City, my memories are bittersweet. It was a stressful and scary time, of course. But there were some nice, quiet moments, too: gathering in the park, sitting exactly six feet apart. Drinks and dinner on stoops (again, six feet apart). Weekly game nights over Zoom.
