Axios API endpoint
Returns a public Axios article's metadata and full body paragraphs from a canonical article URL. Subscriber-only stories with no free preview return a 403 permission error instead of an empty body.
/axios/articleQuery parameter: required url, a canonical https://www.axios.com/YYYY/MM/DD/slug article URL.
Returns a public Axios article's metadata and full body paragraphs, read from the page's own embedded story state. A subscriber-only story with no free preview available returns a 403 permission error instead of an empty body; a story with a partial free preview returns is_paywalled: true alongside whatever paragraphs are available.
