Not a public one. This endpoint is the practical alternative: their articles as
structured JSON, with title, lead, publication time, section, byline and a link back to
the original.
How do I get their RSS feed?
Most publishers expose one at /rss or /feed, but feeds carry
only the last few dozen items and drop them within hours. This index keeps 261 of
their articles and lets you filter by date, language and section.
How many articles does Human Rights Watch publish per day?
4 on a median day, measured across 66 days.
Can I use this commercially?
The API is free and unauthenticated. What you may do with the content is between you
and the publisher: we return metadata, a lead paragraph and a link, not a licence.
