The Denver Post section headlines API
Returns current headlines for one Denver Post section or topic archive. `section` is required and must be a slug from the sections endpoint, such as `business`, `denver-broncos`, `colorado` or `weather`; an invalid value returns an invalid-params error. Items carry title and URL, plus summary, author, publication time and image when the card shows them. Cards without a dated Denver Post article URL are skipped.
