How this endpoint behaves

Query parameters:

slug (optional): an author URL slug, e.g. martin-wolf.
url (optional): a canonical https://www.ft.com/<slug> author URL, as an alternative to slug.
page (optional): 1-based page number of the author's article list. Defaults to 1.

Exactly one of slug/url is required.

FT author pages live at the site root (the same URL shape as a section front, e.g. https://www.ft.com/martin-wolf) and carry no bio paragraph -- only byline metadata (job_title, email, social_accounts) from the page's own structured data, plus the same article-teaser cards a section front or search result uses. has_more reports whether a further page exists; articles uses the same shape as ft-headlines/ft-search results.

Example response (truncated):

{"code":200,"data":{"name":"Martin Wolf","slug":"martin-wolf","url":"https://www.ft.com/martin-wolf","job_title":"Chief Economics Commentator","email":"[email protected]","social_accounts":[{"platform":"twitter","url":"https://www.twitter.com/@martinwolf_"}],"page":1,"has_more":true,"articles":[{"title":"With AI, 'I told you so' will be too late","url":"https://www.ft.com/content/9dd894cd-dddd-4388-ac00-dbd14d40dc52","summary":"Reducing the speed of innovation is going to be hard, both practically and politically","section":"Artificial intelligence"}]}}
