Any other value (including promoted, a sponsored-content feed that is deliberately not offered) is rejected as an invalid parameter. Call gamerant-sections for the same list with display names.
Each section returns 10 of the most recent items. Many franchise, platform and video sections are dormant: the upstream still serves their archived items, whose newest entries can be months or years old (for example creators-on-game-rant and movies-tv-trailers last posted in 2024). Items from the video sections link to /video/<slug>/ pages and carry "type":"video"; gamerant-article does not accept those.
