URL must be on reuters.com, got ${url}

Error message

URL must be on reuters.com, got ${url}

What it means

The reuters article-detail command throws ArgumentError when the supplied URL does not match REUTERS_HOST, i.e. it is not a reuters.com URL. The command scrapes Reuters pages and only supports reuters.com, so off-site URLs are rejected up front.

Solutions

1. Use the canonical www.reuters.com article URL
2. Resolve shorteners/redirects to their final reuters.com destination first
3. Check the URL for typos in the hostname
4. If the article only exists off-site, this command cannot fetch it — use a source-appropriate tool

Example fix

// before
reuters article-detail "https://news.google.com/rss/articles/CBM..."
// after
reuters article-detail "https://www.reuters.com/world/us/some-article-2026-01-01/"

try {
  const u = new URL(input);
  if (!/(^|\.)reuters\.com$/.test(u.hostname)) throw new Error('not a reuters.com URL: ' + input);
} catch { throw new Error('invalid URL: ' + input); }

function isReutersUrl(u) {
  try { return new URL(u).hostname.endsWith('reuters.com'); } catch { return false; }
}

When it happens

Trigger: Passing a URL on another domain (e.g. reuters.org, a Google News redirect, an archive mirror) or a misspelled host, so the REUTERS_HOST regex test fails.

Common situations: Using a shortened or redirected link that resolves off reuters.com; copying an AMP or third-party syndicated copy of the article; typos like 'reuterss.com'; passing a search-results page from another site.
