Khaleej Times API endpoint
Returns public Khaleej Times article metadata and body paragraphs from a canonical article URL. Live-blog pages are accepted and return their timestamped update headlines as paragraphs.
/khaleejtimes/articleQuery parameter: url is a canonical HTTPS khaleejtimes.com article URL of the form /<section>/<slug> or /<section>/<sub-section>/<slug>, for example https://www.khaleejtimes.com/business/example-article-slug. Section landing pages, video pages, partner-content pages, and author pages are rejected with 400. Returns public metadata and body paragraphs.
authors lists every credited author, section is the story's primary section name, and published_at/updated_at are UTC. Live-blog pages (for example a "live updates" story) are accepted: their paragraphs are the timestamped update headlines (10:33 PM: Headline) plus any pull quotes, since most updates carry only a headline.
