How this endpoint behaves
Query parameter: url is a canonical HTTPS eonline.com article URL in the form https://www.eonline.com/news/<numeric id>/<slug>. Photo galleries, videos and show pages are not accepted. Returns public metadata, the byline, and the full body paragraphs.
The numeric id identifies the article; the slug is ignored by the site. An unknown id returns not-found. E! News article pages sampled were free to read, so paywalled is normally absent; it is set to true if the page ever declares a non-free content tier. section is the article's first tag (for example Taylor Swift), not a fixed enum.
