How this endpoint behaves
Query parameter: section is required and must be one of politics, us, world, national-security, elections, business, energy, education, health, tech, media, entertainment, sports, guns-and-gear, investigative-group, opinion, analysis, two-sides, big-tent-ideas, patriots, satire, or video. Any other value returns a 400.
Returns the newest ~40 articles listed on that section's public page: title, canonical URL, lead image, and, where the site labels the card, a type such as opinion, blog, or analysis. Section pages carry no publish time or byline; call dailycaller-article for those. Items in the patriots section are Patriots-only articles whose full text is not public (see dailycaller-article).
