Business Standard API endpoint

Business Standard author profile API

Stories carry a title, URL and optionally summary, date and a `premium` flag for subscriber-only text. An unknown author returns `404`.

How this endpoint behaves

Returns a Business Standard author's byline metadata, biography, social links, and the recent stories the profile page lists.

Query parameters:

url (required): a canonical https://www.business-standard.com/author/<slug> URL.

designation, biography, image_url, twitter_url, facebook_url, linkedin_url, and youtube_url reflect whatever the author's own profile carries -- not every profile has all of these (desk bylines such as our-bureau carry almost none). articles lists the author's recent stories (about 20); each entry has title, url, and optionally summary, published_at, and premium (true when the story is subscriber-only and its text is not available from businessstandard-article). An unknown author returns 404.
