Endpoint Playground
Returns a Punch article by canonical `url` (`https://punchng.com/<slug>/`): title, description, publication and update times, section, authors, image and the body `paragraphs`. Punch articles are free to read, so `paywalled` is never set. Video-led stories may have only a short text summary.
