How this endpoint behaves
Query parameter: section is required and must be one of news, reviews, best, how-to, features, deals, authority-insights, audio, computers-pc, gaming, technology, mobile, smart-home, streaming-entertainment, wearables, earbuds-headphones, chromebook, mac, pc-windows, emulation, handhelds, mobile-games, nintendo, playstation, xbox, smart-devices, smart-speakers, virtual-assistants, streaming-hardware, ai, mobility, privacy-security, vr-ar, fitness-trackers, smartwatches, android-apps, android-os, android-phones, android-tablets, carriers-plans, ios-apps, iphone-ipad, accessories, mobile-technology. Use androidauthority-sections to list them with display names. Invalid values return a 400 error.
Items are the section's newest 10 to 20 stories. Each item carries title, canonical article url, author and image_url; summary appears on the lead story of a hub, and published_at (midnight UTC of the printed date) only on stories more than a day old, because the hub prints "N hours ago" for newer ones. Use androidauthority-news for exact publication times of the latest stories.
