Moneycontrol API endpoint
Returns a Moneycontrol author's name, job title, biography (when present), social links, and recent articles from a canonical author URL.
/moneycontrol/authorQuery parameters:
url (required): a canonical https://www.moneycontrol.com/author/<slug>-<id>/ URL. The per-author opinion, news, videos, and photos tab pages and paginated pages are not accepted.Article bylines carry the author link, but desk bylines such as "PTI" have no profile page. job_title, biography, and social_links reflect whatever the profile shows; most authors have no biography. social_links lists only web links, and each type is the site's own lowercased label (for example x or linkedin); email addresses are never returned. articles are the profile's first page of recent stories (about 24), with title, url, summary, and image_url.
