It's actually just a query of pages where a column says it should be promoted. If you use the network view on the SharePoint page, you can find the call to the API.

Thanks Alan Marshall for the link too. Were you able to get the news page description too? We noticed that these API calls only get a very limited characters as a response. Can we get the entire news page content through the API? Is there something you know we can do to get that too?
- We have used the API as is to show SharePoint News alongside corporate News on an Intranet home page so the summary was sufficient.
You can also get the data through search that may contain more of the content but generally the index only has a summary.
I think i saw an article by Elio Struyf on how this search query works. You can also just use the network trace on a SharePoint site to find this.
