Mashable API endpoint
Returns public Mashable article metadata and body paragraphs from a canonical article URL. Mashable articles are free to read, so the full body is returned.
/mashable/articleQuery parameter: url is required and must be a canonical HTTPS mashable.com (or www.mashable.com) article URL of the form /<channel>/<slug> where <channel> is one of tech, entertainment, life, science, travel, or article. Sponsored /ad/... posts, /roundup/, /review/, /deals/, /gifts/, and /video/ pages, and /author/, /category/, /series/, /shows/ hubs are rejected with a 400. Query strings and fragments are dropped.
Returns public metadata and body paragraphs: title, description, published_at, section (the article's section label, for example Tech), authors, image_url, and paragraphs. Mashable articles are free to read, so the full article body is returned. Inline "See also" cards, embedded social posts, and ads are excluded from paragraphs. updated_at is omitted because Mashable does not publish a modified date. Shopping-style articles (deals, product roundups) publish their product cards outside the body text, so they can return only a few paragraphs.
