CBR API endpoint
Returns fresh headlines from one public CBR RSS section. Video pages, if a section ever returns them, have type video and are not readable through the article endpoint.
/cbr/headlinesQuery parameter: section is required and must be one of movies, movie-features, news-movies, reviews-movies, movie-lists, tv, tv-features, news-tv, reviews-tv, tv-lists, comics, comics-features, comics/news, comics/reviews, comics-lists, anime, anime-features, anime-news, anime/reviews-anime, anime-lists, games, game-features, game-news, games/reviews-games, game-guides, game-lists, lists, or cbr-exclusives. Any other value is rejected as an invalid parameter.
Each section returns about 10 of the most recent items. Slugs containing a slash (comics/news, comics/reviews, anime/reviews-anime, games/reviews-games) are sent as-is in the query string (URL-encode the slash as %2F if your client requires it). CBR's /video/<slug>/ pages have no feed, so this endpoint does not return video items in practice; if one ever appears it carries "type":"video" and cbr-article does not accept it.
