Al Jazeera API endpoint
Returns an Al Jazeera article by `url`, a canonical dated `www.aljazeera.com` address such as `/news/2026/9/20/example-slug`: title, description, publication and update times, section, credited authors, lead image and body `paragraphs`. Live-blog URLs return their opening summary bullets as the body; a video page with no article text returns `503` and a malformed URL `400`.
/aljazeera/articleQuery parameter: required url, a canonical dated Al Jazeera article URL on www.aljazeera.com, for example https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/9/20/example-slug. Section, live-blog (/news/liveblog/...), and video-prefixed (/video/newsfeed/...) dated paths are accepted.
