How this endpoint behaves
Query parameter: section (required) must be one of home, news, world, technology, politics, science, business, education, environment, health, media, housing, crime, sport, tennis, football, rugby-union, golf, cricket, boxing, olympics, rugby-league, opinion, editor, columnists, comment, culture, television, music, film, books, arts, radio, comedy, inews-lifestyle, money, property-and-mortgages, saving-and-banking, pensions-and-retirement, investing, small-business, travel, food-and-drink, homes-and-gardens, or relationships. Use inews-sections to list them with their feed URLs. Any other value returns 400 without contacting i.
Items have the same shape as inews-news. Low-volume sections (for example business, golf, or olympics) can return only one or two items, some of them weeks old.
