How this endpoint behaves

Query parameter: url is an Investopedia author or expert profile URL in either form Investopedia uses: https://www.investopedia.com/<name>-<id> (e.g. https://www.investopedia.com/diccon-hyatt-7100294) or https://www.investopedia.com/contributors/<id>/ (e.g. https://www.investopedia.com/contributors/53746/). Article bylines link to these pages.

Returns the profile's name, job_title, description, image_url, info (labelled fields such as Title, Education, Location, Expertise, and Business, plus personal social links as url rows), biography paragraphs, quote, and articles (their recent stories, same shape as headline items). Fields the profile does not show are omitted. An article URL returns 400 naming investopedia-article.
