How this endpoint behaves
Query parameter: url is a canonical HTTPS timesofisrael.com article URL. Both a regular story page (e.g. /example-article-slug/) and an individual liveblog-update page (/liveblog_entry/<slug>/) are accepted. The site's daily rolling liveblog hub page (/liveblog-<date>/) is not an accepted article URL, since it aggregates many independent updates rather than one coherent story -- fetch its individual /liveblog_entry/<slug>/ updates instead. Returns public metadata and body paragraphs.
