Mediaite API endpoint

Mediaite author profile API

Returns a Mediaite author profile by `slug` (for example `michael-luciano`) or by a mediaite.com author `url`; supply exactly one. The response has `name`, `bio`, `avatar_url`, `email`, `twitter` and about 10 recent articles, each with `title`, `url` and a short `date` label such as `Sep 24th` (no year or time). Contact fields are omitted when the page shows none.

How this endpoint behaves

Returns one Mediaite author's public profile: name, biography, avatar, email and X/Twitter links, and their most recent articles.

Query parameters:

slug (optional): an author slug, e.g. michael-luciano.
url (optional): a canonical https://www.mediaite.com/author/<slug>/ URL, as an alternative to slug.

Exactly one of slug/url is required. The response is the single page of recent articles shown on the profile (about 10); there is no further pagination. Each article has a title, url and the page's short date label (for example Sep 24th; no year or time, use the article endpoint for a full timestamp). email, twitter, bio and avatar_url are simply absent when the author's page does not show them.

Example response (truncated):

{"code":200,"data":{"name":"Michael Luciano","slug":"michael-luciano","url":"https://www.mediaite.com/author/michael-luciano/","bio":"Mike is a Mediaite senior editor who covers the news in primetime.","twitter":"https://twitter.com/michaelsluciano","articles":[{"title":"Example headline","url":"https://www.mediaite.com/media/tv/example-headline","date":"Sep 24th"}]}}
