GET/theage/articleapiKey2 credits/request
Returns one The Age article's public metadata and the body paragraphs an anonymous visitor's page request is served, from a canonical article URL. The Age runs a metered subscription paywall; the response reports it with is_accessible_for_free (the page's own declaration), paywalled (the page marks the story as subscriber content), and is_truncated (the page served a shortened preview, or no body at all, instead of the full story). Paywalls are never bypassed and body text is never fabricated. Video-only pages are rejected with a 400.
Required: url.
