Mashable API endpoint
Returns fresh Mashable headlines from one public category RSS feed. Sponsored partner posts, shopping roundups, reviews, and video pages are not included.
/mashable/headlinesQuery parameter: section is required and must be one of android, animals, apple, cannabis, celebrities, climate-change, covid-19, desktops, digital-culture, education, entertainment, fitness, games, gaming, gaming-consoles, gender, headphones, health-wellness, house-home, laptops, lgbtq, life, memes, mental-health, mobile, movies, podcasts, science, sex, sex-dating-relationships, smart-home, social-good, social-media, space, speakers, tablets, tech, tech-industry, transportation, tv-shows, tvs, wifirouters. Any other value returns a 400. Use mashable-sections to discover the list. Results contain up to about 100 items, newest first, and carry title, url, summary, published_at, and image_url when available. Bylines are not included; use mashable-article for authorship.
Sponsored partner posts (/ad/ URLs), shopping roundups, reviews, and video pages are not returned, so a category feed can return fewer items than it lists upstream. Categories overlap, so the same article can appear under several sections.
