How this endpoint behaves

Query parameters:

slug (optional): an author slug, e.g. wesley-holmes.
url (optional): a canonical https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/authors/<slug>/ URL, optionally with the site's own ?pageNumber=<n> query, as an alternative to slug.
page (optional): 1-based page number of the author's article list, from 1 to 100; overrides any pageNumber in url. Defaults to 1.

Exactly one of slug/url is required. Each page lists about 24 articles and has_next_page reports whether the site's own pagination shows a further page. email and twitter are the author's own contact links; unlisted contact details are simply absent, not an error. An unknown slug returns a 404 error.

Example response (truncated):
