How this endpoint behaves

Returns one Chicago Tribune author's public profile: name, job title when the page lists one, bio, the public email and X/Twitter handle shown on the page, and the recent articles listed on the first page of the author's archive.

Query parameters:

slug (optional): an author slug, e.g. olivia-olander, taken from the author's byline link.
url (optional): a canonical https://www.chicagotribune.com/author/<slug>/ URL, as an alternative to slug.

Exactly one of slug/url is required. Each article has title, url, and, when the card shows them, summary and published_at. Later archive pages (/page/2/ and beyond) are not fetched. An unknown author returns a not-found error. Newsroom bylines such as aurora-beacon-news are accounts too and work as slugs.

Example response (truncated):

{"code":200,"data":{"name":"Olivia Olander","slug":"olivia-olander","url":"https://www.chicagotribune.com/author/olivia-olander","bio":"Olivia Olander is the Chicago-based state government reporter at the Tribune, covering Gov. JB Pritzker.","email":"[email protected]","twitter":"oliviaolanderr","articles":[{"title":"Gov.
