How this endpoint behaves
Query parameter: url is required and must be a canonical HTTPS FOX Sports story URL of the form https://www.foxsports.com/stories/<section>/<slug>. Other FOX Sports paths and external hosts are rejected with an invalid-parameter error.
Returns public NewsArticle metadata and paragraphs from the article's .article-content-body container. The extractor stays within that body container and does not follow video or promotional links. If FOX Sports changes the page to serve only a teaser, the endpoint returns only the public body content it receives; it does not cross a subscription or access gate.
