How this endpoint behaves
Returns the newest Toronto Star editorial stories (up to 50, newest first) from the site's public news sitemap: title, canonical article URL and publication time. The sitemap covers roughly the last two days across the news, sports, business, politics, opinion, entertainment, life, real-estate and podcasts areas and includes wire copy alongside staff stories; press-release and sponsored pages are excluded. It carries no summary or image; use the article endpoint for those.
