Notes

• All data comes from DW's official sitemaps (free, no key, no login).
• DW has no working RSS feeds any more — every /rss/ path returns 404 (verified 2026-11-10) — and its site search is gone, so headlines come from the news sitemaps and dw_search_news filters the latest ~50 headlines (not the full archive).
• Persian is two editions: fa-ir (Iran) and fa-af (Afghanistan/Dari); plain fa does not exist.
• Article bodies are extracted from DW's server-rendered pages (JSON-LD headline/date + cleaned <p> text); live blogs and video pages may return little or no body text.

Tests: 22/22 green (15 offline + 7 live, 2026-11-10).
