Newsmax Insiders author profile API
Returns a Newsmax Insiders (opinion columnist) profile from a required `url` such as `https://www.newsmax.com/insiders/<slug>/id-<id>/`. The response has `name`, `biography`, `image_url` and recent columns. `biography` is omitted when Newsmax's separate profile page is unavailable, and article `published_at` is date text such as `Sep 23, 2026`.

How this endpoint behaves
Query parameters:
url(required): a canonicalhttps://www.newsmax.com/insiders/<slug>/id-<id>/URL (Newsmax's ownbio-<id>variant of the same profile is also accepted).
image_url and biography reflect whatever the columnist's own Insiders profile shows -- not every columnist has a headshot on file, and the biography comes from a separate page Newsmax publishes for the same profile, so it is omitted if that page is unavailable. Each article's published_at is the page's own rendered publish-date text (for example Sep 23, 2026), not a machine-readable timestamp.
Example response (truncated):
{"code":200,"data":{"url":"https://www.newsmax.com/insiders/janedoe/id-1234","name":"Jane Doe","image_url":"https://www.newsmax.com/CMSPages/GetFile.aspx?guid=11111111-1111-1111-1111-111111111111","biography":["Jane Doe is an example columnist."],"articles":[{"title":"Example First Column Headline","url":"https://www.newsmax.com/janedoe/example-first-column/2026/09/23/id/1000001/","published_at":"Sep 23, 2026"}]}}
