How this endpoint behaves

Query parameter: url is a canonical HTTPS Liverpool Echo article URL (a liverpoolecho.co.uk path under /news/, /sport/, /whats-on/, /travel/ or /special-features/ ending in the numeric article id). The endpoint returns public metadata (title, description, published_at, updated_at, section, authors, image_url) and the body paragraphs only. Photo-gallery URLs (.../gallery/...) have no article body and return a 400 error. The Echo has no paywall: every sampled article returned its full body, and a blocked or unreadable page returns an upstream error rather than a partial body.
