Page Six API endpoint
Page Six author profile API
Returns a Page Six author profile from a required `url` in the form `https://pagesix.com/author/<slug>/`. The response has `name`, `biography`, `image_url`, `social_links` and recent articles. An RSS feed link is the only social link always present, and each article's `published_at` is the page's date text such as `September 23, 2026 | 8:16pm`.

How this endpoint behaves
Query parameters:
url(required): a canonicalhttps://pagesix.com/author/<slug>/URL.
image_url and biography reflect whatever the author's own page shows -- not every author page carries a headshot or a bio, and staff/wire bylines often have neither. social_links lists whatever contact/social icons render on the page (an RSS feed link is the only one guaranteed to be present); each entry's type is read directly from the page's own icon markup rather than a fixed enum. Each article's published_at is the page's own rendered publish-date text (for example September 23, 2026 | 8:16pm), not a machine-readable timestamp.
Example response (truncated):
