structured JSON, with title, lead, publication time, section, byline and a link back to

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 288 of
their articles and lets you filter by date, language and section.
How many articles does The Nation publish per day?
4 on a median day, measured across 69 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.
