Forbes API endpoint
Returns up to 50 unique Forbes article cards for one navigation path. `section` is required and takes a `path` value from the Forbes categories endpoint, such as `/business/`. Each card has the title, article URL, description, author, and publication time and image URL when present. A blocked section returns an error, not an empty list.
/forbes/headlinesReturns current Forbes article-card metadata from one public Forbes navigation path. Call GET /api/v1/forbes/categories first and pass one returned path value.
Parameters:
section query: required Forbes navigation path, for example /business/.x-api-key header: required API key.The response contains up to 50 unique article cards with title, canonical article URL, description, author, publication time when present, and image URL when present. Pass a returned dated URL to GET /api/v1/forbes/article for rich body HTML, normalized paragraphs/headings, and public embed metadata. A section that is temporarily challenge-protected returns an upstream error rather than an empty success response.
