Philippine Daily Inquirer API endpoint
Philippine Daily Inquirer Author API
Returns one Philippine Daily Inquirer byline's public archive page: the contributor's name and their recent articles on that subdomain, from a canonical byline URL. Byline pages are per-subdomain, so an author's articles from a different section require calling this endpoint again with that section's own byline URL.

How this endpoint behaves
Query parameters:
url(required): a canonicalhttps://<section>.inquirer.net/byline/<slug>URL, optionally with a/page/<n>segment, e.g.https://newsinfo.inquirer.net/byline/ivana-janlee-a-otoc.page(optional): 1-based page number of articles to return; defaults to 1, and overrides any page number already present inurl.
Byline pages are per-subdomain: the same person's articles on business.inquirer.net and sports.inquirer.net live at two different byline URLs, each only listing that subdomain's own articles. Callers who need an author's full cross-section output must call this endpoint once per subdomain. The page carries no separate job title, biography, or headshot -- only a name heading and an article list.
