How this endpoint behaves
Query parameter: required url, a canonical Los Angeles Times article URL. Both article path shapes are accepted: https://www.latimes.com/<section>/story/YYYY-MM-DD/<slug> (English) and https://www.latimes.com/espanol/<section>/articulo/YYYY-MM-DD/<slug> (Spanish). Any other host or path is rejected with a bad-request error before any upstream request.
Returns the article's public metadata and body paragraphs, read from the page's NewsArticle structured data: headline, description, section, authors, publication and update times, lead image, and the article body split into paragraphs.
