Hindustan Times API endpoint

Hindustan Times article API

Returns public Hindustan Times article metadata and body paragraphs from a canonical article URL. A story Hindustan Times marks subscriber-only (chiefly syndicated Wall Street Journal / The Economist partner content) returns a permission error instead of a body.

How this endpoint behaves

Query parameter: url is a canonical HTTPS hindustantimes.com article URL, e.g. https://www.hindustantimes.com/<section>/<slug>-<id>.html. Returns public metadata and body paragraphs.

Hindustan Times marks some stories -- chiefly syndicated Wall Street Journal / The Economist partner content served under its "HT Premium" surface -- as subscriber-only. Requesting one of those returns a 403 permission error instead of a body; every successful response's paragraphs is the story's real, complete text.
