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.

The Baltimore Bridge Collapse Will Upend Traffic in a Busy Industrial Area
Tuesday, March 26, 2024
The collapse severs the southern stretch of Interstate 695, a critical portion of the Baltimore Beltway that runs through the areas around the port.
As the shock of the Key Bridge collapse settled over Baltimore on Tuesday, the new traffic realities came not far behind. The Key, a four-lane-bridge that collapsed after being hit by a container ship, was not the most heavily trafficked route across the Baltimore Harbor, but without the crossing, about 34,000 cars and trucks will now have to find alternative routes.
