Capture a dev.to article in clean markdown via API.

This shortcut uses the Dev.to API's getArticleByPath endpoint to capture an individual article's data and (markdown-formatted) body contents into a new Drafts draft, formatted (by default) as such:

# title

- [**Source**](url)
- Byline: [byline](profile)
- Published: `davodtime`

---

cover

md

By default, it also captures the entirety of the API response in a Data Jar jar specified at install.

Example Output
