Cleveland.com API endpoint
Cleveland.com top stories API
Returns Cleveland.com's 50-item public top-stories RSS feed. Summaries and encoded content are publisher teasers; this endpoint does not claim to return full article text. Editorial section inventory and article pages could not be reliably verified due to upstream DataDome blocking.

How this endpoint behaves
Query parameters: none.
Returns current stories from Cleveland.com's public 50-item Arc RSS feed. Each item may include title, canonical URL, teaser summary, byline, publication time, and image URL. Publisher-provided encoded content is a teaser and does not represent the full article body. This route does not expose a complete section inventory or retrieve article text.
