How this endpoint behaves
Query parameter: url is a canonical HTTPS mediaite.com article URL such as https://www.mediaite.com/media/tv/<slug>/, /politics/trump/<slug>/, /opinion/<slug>/, /columnists/<slug>/, /online/<slug>/, /crime/<slug>/ or /premium/<slug>/. Query strings and fragments are dropped. Author, category, tag and sponsored URLs are rejected.
Returns title, description, publish and update time, category, authors, lead image and body paragraphs. Mediaite One Sheet pages (/premium/) carry a subscribe gate; they return paywalled: true with whatever preview paragraphs the site serves to an anonymous reader. Example gated URL: https://www.mediaite.com/premium/mediaite-one-sheet-how-will-trump-respond-after-court-order-pausing-white-house-press-ban/.
