Space API endpoint

Space.com article API

Returns a Space.com article by canonical `url` in any of the site's URL shapes, including older `.html` reference pages: title, description, section, authors, publication and update times, image and body `paragraphs`. `/news/live/` pages return only their introductory paragraphs, and membership-gated content returns only its public preview.

How this endpoint behaves

Query parameter: url is a canonical HTTPS space.com article URL in any of the site's live shapes: /<category>/.../<slug> (e.g. /astronomy/solar-system/asteroids/<slug>), a single-segment /<slug>, or an older /<slug>.html / /<id>-<slug>.html reference page. Every URL returned by space-news, space-headlines, and space-author is accepted here. Returns public metadata and body paragraphs.

For /news/live/... live-coverage pages, only the introductory paragraphs are returned, not every individual live update. Some Space.com content may be gated behind the site's own membership paywall; when that happens only the publicly visible preview paragraphs are returned.
