HuffPost API endpoint

HuffPost author profile API

Returns a HuffPost author or contributor profile by `url`, a canonical `https://www.huffpost.com/author/<slug>` link. The response has the name, recent articles, and, when the profile shows them, `job_title`, `image_url`, `biography` and `social_links` (platform and URL). Outside contributors often lack most of these optional fields.

How this endpoint behaves

Query parameters:

url (required): a canonical https://www.huffpost.com/author/<slug> URL.

HuffPost mixes staff writers and outside contributors on the same profile template, and the two do not carry the same fields: a staff writer typically has a job title, headshot, and social links, while a "Contributor"-badged outside writer may have none of those (the badge text itself is returned as job_title when no dedicated job-title element is present). job_title, image_url, biography, and social_links are therefore all optional and simply absent when the profile doesn't show them.

Example response (truncated):

{"code":200,"data":{"url":"https://www.huffpost.com/author/lee-moran","name":"Lee Moran","job_title":"European correspondent, HuffPost","image_url":"https://img.huffingtonpost.com/asset/example.jpg","biography":["Lee Moran is a half-Spanish, half-English journalist..."],"social_links":[{"platform":"facebook","url":"https://www.facebook.com/leemoranjournalist"},{"platform":"x","url":"https://www.x.com/lee_moran"}],"articles":[{"title":"Example story by this author","url":"https://www.huffpost.com/entry/example-story_n_1234567890abcdef12345678"}]}}
