2 things to look at

- 1 stars1 stars. Stars are a popularity signal and not a quality one, but at this level it is likely that nobody has read this closely except its author, and you would be relying on your own review.

Chartbeat
Fetches real-time top pages and headline data from the Chartbeat API.
All operations go through {{HOME}}/bin/chartbeat-top-stories.sh.
The default site is reuters.com. A different host can be specified as a second argument to any command.
Commands
Fetch top Reuters stories by concurrent visitors, excluding the homepage and section fronts:
{{HOME}}/bin/chartbeat-top-stories.sh stories [limit] [host]
limit— number of pages to return (default: 10)host— site domain (default: reuters.com)
Output includes ranking, concurrent reader count, page title, clickable Reuters URL, authors, and sections.
When you return the results to Ben, keep the ranking and reader count in each list item and separate each story with a blank line so it is easy to scan on mobile.
Use stories by default for requests about Reuters top stories or chartbeat
headlines. It filters out homepage and section-front pages.
Use top only when you explicitly want all top pages, including the homepage
and section fronts.
