# Get News Post

`GET /api/news/{slug}`

- Base URL: `https://api.getcheapgames.com` (the document declares no server; this is the origin it was published from)
- URL: `https://api.getcheapgames.com/api/news/{slug}`

One live post: its body as blocks, its games priced in `currency`, three
more to read; the post and those three each in `locale` where it has a
current translation into it. A translated body's mentions are priced as
the English's are: the same games, by the slugs it names them with.

## Path parameters

- `slug` string, required

## Query parameters

- `locale` string, nullable: The reader's language, as the app names it
- `country` string, nullable: ISO country code; decides which keys are region-locked FOR YOU

  - `cover` NewsCoverOut: A post's picture: `src` a 960-wide WebP, the two `srcset`s the widths in AVIF and WebP (`url 480w, url 960w, url 1600w` for a stored cover; a game's own widths when it is borrowed), and the frame's size for the box a page reserves. Pages crop it to 16:9. Site-relative, like `coverBase`.
