CNBC API endpoint
Returns one CNBC author's public bio page: name, job title, biography, social links, and their most recent articles. Provide either the author's slug (the last path segment of their cnbc.com bio page) or the full bio page URL.
/cnbc/authorQuery parameters:
slug (optional): a CNBC author slug, e.g. jeff-cox. CNBC author pages have no separate /author/ URL prefix -- the slug is the whole cnbc.com/<slug>/ path -- so a slug that matches one of /cnbc/categories' section slugs is rejected.url (optional): a canonical https://www.cnbc.com/<slug>/ author page URL, as an alternative to slug.Exactly one of slug/url is required.
job_title and social_accounts reflect whatever the author's page actually shows; not every author lists a job title or social links. articles is the page's own "Latest" river -- CNBC does not expose a page/offset parameter for a deeper article history (older stories load through a client-side "load more" call), so this is always a single page of the author's most recent stories. Article published_at is CNBC's own rendered card text, which is either an absolute date (September 18, 2026) or a relative one (5 Hours Ago) for very recent stories -- no machine-readable timestamp is present in the markup.
