France 24 API endpoint
Returns public France 24 English-edition article metadata and body paragraphs from a canonical article URL. Live-blog pages are supported and return their chronological update entries as body paragraphs.
/france24/articleQuery parameter: url is a canonical HTTPS France 24 article URL -- either www.france24.com/en/<section>/<date>-<slug> (for africa, americas, asia-pacific, europe, france, middle-east, business-tech, culture, environment, sport, or live-news) or www.france24.com/en/tv-shows/<show>/<date>-<slug>. Live-blog pages use the same URL shape and are supported: their chronological update entries are returned as body paragraphs. Video-only pages (/en/video/... and bare, section-less URLs) are not article content and are rejected. The endpoint returns public metadata and body paragraphs only; blocked or malformed upstream content returns an upstream error.
