Try the The Star (Malaysia) top stories API

Returns the current top stories on The Star (Malaysia) home page. It takes no parameters. Each item has a title and canonical URL, plus a short section label in `type`, a summary and a byline when the page shows them. `published_at` is omitted here; the section headlines endpoint carries it.
