Irish Times API endpoint
Returns current Irish Times headlines for one section. `section` is required and takes one of 16 slugs such as `ireland`, `politics`, `your-money`, `life-style`, `motors` or `abroad`; other values return 400. Some listed articles are subscriber-only, and `irishtimes-article` returns a permission error for those.
/irishtimes/headlinesQuery parameter: section is required and must be one of ireland, opinion, politics, business, your-money, world, sport, life-style, health, technology, culture, property, food, motors, history, or abroad. Any other value returns a 400 invalid-parameter error.
A listed headline may point at a subscriber-only article; the headline itself is public, but irishtimes-article returns a permission error for such an article.
