Khaleej Times API endpoint
Khaleej Times section headlines API
Returns current Khaleej Times headlines for one section or sub-section. `section` is required; its slug is the section's URL path with slashes turned into hyphens, so `/business/markets` is `business-markets`. Top-level sections mix their sub-sections' stories. Each item has its title, URL and publication time, plus summary, author and image when the outlet provides them. Call `khaleejtimes-sections` for the slugs.

How this endpoint behaves
Query parameter: section is required and must be one of the slugs below. A slug is the section's URL path with slashes turned into hyphens, so /business/markets is business-markets and the top-level /business is business. Top-level sections mix stories from their sub-sections; sub-sections list only their own. Call khaleejtimes-sections for each slug's name and URL.
