How this endpoint behaves
Returns one Economic Times reporter's public profile from a canonical https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/etreporter/author-<name>-<id>.cms URL: name, job title, biography, headshot, and their recent articles.
Query parameters:
url(required): a canonicalhttps://economictimes.indiatimes.com/etreporter/author-<name>-<id>.cmsURL.
job_title, biography, and image_url reflect only what the reporter's own profile page publishes and may be empty. Unlike some sibling publisher families in this API, The Economic Times does not separately publish an organization, location, or email field for a reporter -- job_title already carries the reporter's role/desk in one string (for example "Editor - Markets and Finance, ET Online").
Example response (truncated):
