Business Insider API endpoint

Business Insider author profile API

Returns a Business Insider author's profile, identified by `slug` (the last segment of the author's page address) or a canonical `https://www.businessinsider.com/author/<slug>` `url`; exactly one is required. The response has name, job title, bio, image, `social_accounts` and one page of recent articles with title, URL and summary. Accounts the author does not list are simply absent.

How this endpoint behaves

Query parameters:

slug (optional): an author slug, e.g. peter-kafka.
url (optional): a canonical https://www.businessinsider.com/author/<slug> URL, as an alternative to slug.

Exactly one of slug/url is required. The response is a single page of the author's most recent articles as shown on their profile page; there is no further pagination. social_accounts reflects whatever external profile links the author's page actually shows (commonly X/Twitter) -- unlisted accounts are simply absent, not an error.

Example response (truncated):
