GQ API endpoint

GQ contributor profile API

Returns a GQ contributor profile, identified by `slug` (such as `tom-ward`) or by a canonical `url`; provide exactly one. The response has the name, job title, biography, headshot, social links and one page of recent articles. `page` runs from 1 to 100 (default 1) and `has_next_page` signals more. Unknown contributors return 404.

How this endpoint behaves

Query parameters:

slug (optional): a contributor slug, e.g. tom-ward.
url (optional): a canonical https://www.gq.com/contributor/<slug> URL, as an alternative to slug.
page (optional): 1-based page of the contributor's article list, from 1 to 100. Defaults to 1. Invalid values return 400.

Exactly one of slug or url is required. has_next_page reports whether GQ's own pagination shows a later page. Each article carries title, url, summary, published_at (a YYYY-MM-DD calendar date, since contributor pages show no time), and image_url; only /story/ articles are listed. An unknown contributor returns 404.

Example response (truncated):
