How this endpoint behaves

Returns one IndieWire staff writer or contributor's public "/author/<slug>" archive: name, headshot, biography, any listed social/contact links, and one page of their recent articles.

Query parameters:

url (required): a canonical https://www.indiewire.com/author/<slug> URL (indiewire.com without www is also accepted).
page (optional): 1-based page of recent articles to return; defaults to 1. has_next_page reports whether a further page exists.

headshot_url, biography, and social_links reflect only what the author's own archive page publishes and may be empty or omitted. Each article carries title, url, and, when the card shows them, section, summary and published_at.

Example response (truncated):
