• get_guide read-only

  Returns one live guide's title, subtitle, access, book count, and reading time — card-level metadata only.

Known slugs (19): pregnancy, newborn, toddler, preschool, school-age, adolescence, parenting-science, baby-naming, ….

  Parameters:

  • slug (required) — string — Guide slug (e.g. pregnancy, newborn, toddler, parenting-science).

  Hints: read-only yes · destructive no · idempotent not declared · open-world no

• get_magazine_piece read-only

  Returns one published magazine piece's question, per-writer sections, and editor's coda — the same content the human page renders, ungated. Known slugs (4): the-whole-room--i-got-a-prenatal-screening-result-that-came, the-whole-room--my-baby-won-t-nap-anywhere-except-on, the-whole-room--four-year-old-lying, the-whole-room--my-toddler-had-a-full-blown-meltdown-on.

  Parameters:

  • slug (required) — string — Magazine piece slug.

  Hints: read-only yes · destructive no · idempotent not declared · open-world no
