Economist recipe structure
I don’t do calibre recipe development anymore, but for anyone who is interested the following works for the Economist weekly edition.

First, load https://www.economist.com/weeklyedition/archive

Pick out the anchor tags with href in the form /weeklyedition/yyyy-mm-dd

The anchor tags are in reverse-chronological order so the first one is the current edition, and subsequent tags are prior editions.

Now load https://www.economist.com/weeklyedition/yyyy-mm-dd. where yyyy-mm-dd is the edition date you want.

Now pick out the JSON object you can find inside <script id=“__NEXT DATA__”>, call this json (after decoding)

You can parse the edition contents by looking at json.props.pageProps.content.sections.articles

For all of these load (as well as articles) use user agent
