How this endpoint behaves
Returns the SFGATE feed slugs accepted by sfgate-headlines, each with the URL of its public RSS feed. The set comes from the site's own "SFGate RSS Feeds" directory plus its "Top News Stories" feed, and only feeds that are still publishing are listed. The accepted slugs are top-news, bay-area, business-technology, entertainment, celebrity, food-dining, travel, routes, top-sports, giants, 49ers, and warriors. Directory feeds for the San Jose Sharks, car news and wine are omitted because their newest stories are from 2020 to early 2026.
