Collider API endpoint

Collider author profile API

Returns a Collider author profile for a `url` of the form `https://collider.com/author/<slug>/`. The response has the name, title, image, biography, `social_links` (type and URL) and the roughly 20 latest articles on the profile. Paginated author URLs are rejected, so older articles are not available.

How this endpoint behaves

Query parameters:

url (required): a canonical https://collider.com/author/<slug>/ URL. Paginated /author/<slug>/page/N/ URLs are rejected.

title, image_url, and biography reflect whatever the author's own profile page shows. social_links lists the author's own accounts (x, linkedin, facebook, instagram, bluesky, threads, tiktok, youtube, twitch, muckrack, or a generic website); the site's internal profile link is not included. articles is the profile page's own "Latest" module (about 20 items); older pages are not available.

Example response (truncated):

{"code":200,"data":{"url":"https://collider.com/author/hannah-hunt/","name":"Hannah Hunt","title":"Contributor","biography":"Hannah covers horror, sci-fi, and games at Collider.","social_links":[{"type":"x","url":"https://x.com/amazingspidrhan"}],"articles":[{"title":"Example headline","url":"https://collider.com/example-article-slug"}]}}
