How this endpoint behaves
Query parameter: section is required and must be one of business, markets, economy, companies, personal-finance, ipo, startup, commodities, earnings, insurance, banks, stocks, mutual-funds, real-estate, funding, information-technology, india, politics, trends, interview, opinion, currency, telecom, world, city, banking, explainers, technology, automobile, sports, cricket, football, entertainment, bollywood, hollywood, ott, tv, regional, music, lifestyle, beauty, parenting, relationship, home-garden, health-and-fitness, education, science, astrology, religion, travel, artificial-intelligence, or books. Any other value returns a 400 error.
Returns the section's current front page: 25 or 50 stories, each with title, url, a short summary, and image_url. Section pages do not publish a timestamp or byline, so published_at and author are omitted here; use moneycontrol-article for them. Only the first page of each section is available. A story listed here may be a Moneycontrol Pro story, which moneycontrol-article refuses with a 403.
