How this endpoint behaves

Query parameters:

slug (optional): a Politico staff slug, e.g. mark-satter.
url (optional): a canonical https://www.politico.com/staff/<slug> URL, as an alternative to slug.

Exactly one of slug/url is required. Politico staff pages expose a fixed-size (currently 10) list of the author's most recent bylined articles in the page's own structured data, with no pagination control -- articles is a snapshot, not a paginated feed. bio is Politico's own biography text with embedded links stripped to plain paragraphs; not every author page includes a headshot or bio.

Example response (truncated):
