Daily Record API endpoint

Daily Record author profile API

Returns a Daily Record author profile, found by `slug` (for example `paul-hutcheon`) or by a canonical `url`; send exactly one of the two. The response has the name, job title, bio, email, X/Twitter link and recent articles with their label. Contact details the page does not list are simply absent.

How this endpoint behaves

Query parameters:

slug (optional): an author slug, e.g. paul-hutcheon.
url (optional): a canonical https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/authors/<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. email and twitter reflect whatever contact links the author's page actually shows; unlisted contact details are simply absent, not an error.

Example response (truncated):
