Los Angeles Times API endpoint

Los Angeles Times author profile API

Returns a Los Angeles Times author profile by `url`, a canonical `https://www.latimes.com/people/<slug>` link; other hosts or paths return a bad-request error. The response has the `name`, `job_title`, `bio`, `email`, `image_url`, `social_accounts` and recent articles with title, URL, summary, publication time and lead image. Accounts the page does not list are absent.

How this endpoint behaves

Query parameter: required url, a canonical Los Angeles Times author profile URL, https://www.latimes.com/people/<slug>. Any other host or path is rejected with a bad-request error before any upstream request.

Returns the author's public profile, read from the page's ProfilePage structured data plus the page's own "Latest From This Author" article list: name, job title, bio, editorial email, social/contact links, a profile image, and recent articles (title, URL, summary, publication time, and lead image). social_accounts reflects whatever contact links the author's page actually shows -- unlisted accounts are simply absent, not an error.
