Game Rant API endpoint
Returns one Game Rant article by its `https://gamerant.com/<slug>/` `url`. The response has the title, description, publish and update times, section, authors, lead image and body `paragraphs`. Section hubs, video pages and author pages are rejected as invalid parameters; `paywalled` is set only if the page declares the article not free.
/gamerant/articleQuery parameter: url is a canonical HTTPS gamerant.com article URL in the form /<slug>/. Returns public metadata (title, description, publish and update time, section, authors, lead image) and the body paragraphs. A section hub or other non-article page URL (for example /gaming/, /game-reviews/ or /contact/) is rejected as an invalid parameter, as is any multi-segment URL such as a /video/<slug>/ video page or an /author/<slug>/ page.
Game Rant articles were fully public in every sample checked; no gated example exists. The response sets paywalled to true only if the page's own structured data declares the article not free to read; in that case paragraphs may be a teaser. Embedded videos, galleries, callout boxes and the site's "Related" recirculation cards are not part of paragraphs.
