How this endpoint behaves
No query parameters.
Returns every topic of Healthgrades' Health A-Z library as topics (196 on 2026-10-03), each with its slug, article_count, last_modified (the newest article's date), and the topic hub url where Healthgrades has one. The drugs topic holds Healthgrades' drug articles (drug overviews and drug-specific guides). Use a slug with /api/v1/healthgrades/health-articles. Requests use US egress because Healthgrades restricts content by region.
