How this endpoint behaves
Query parameters:
url(required): a canonicalhttps://www.ndtv.com/authors/<slug>-<id>URL for a staff writer, orhttps://www.ndtv.com/agencies/<slug>-<id>for a news agency or desk byline (for example Bloomberg News or IANS). Both forms appear as author links on NDTV story pages.page(optional, default1): the 1-based page of authored news stories, up to100. NDTV returns 15 story cards per full page and does not expose a total count; request pages sequentially untilarticlesis empty. Page 1 includes the profile and initial stories; later pages include the same profile with the requested story cards.
bio is the full biography from the profile's "Read more" panel, with paragraphs separated by blank lines; agency pages usually have none. same_as lists external profile links only when NDTV shows them. page reports the requested page. Each entry in articles carries the title, URL, summary, published_on date (YYYY-MM-DD), section name, and image from that page of the author's story list.
