How this endpoint behaves
Returns current NJ.com top stories from the public Arc RSS feed. The response contains an items array; each item may include title, canonical url, a short feed summary, published_at, author, and image_url. The summary is feed metadata and is not claimed to be full article text. Article, author, category discovery, and section-headline routes are not currently available because the corresponding live surfaces could not be verified.
Query parameters
