Rappler API endpoint

Rappler author profile API

Returns a Rappler author's profile, looked up by `slug` (for example `delfin-dioquino`) or by canonical `url`; exactly one is required. The response has the name, `bio`, `social_links` and the 10 most recent articles, each with title, URL, section and publication time. There is no further paging. `bio` and `social_links` are omitted when empty; an unknown author returns not-found.

How this endpoint behaves

Query parameters:

slug (optional): an author slug, e.g. delfin-dioquino, the last segment of the author link in a story's byline.
url (optional): a canonical https://www.rappler.com/author/<slug>/ URL, as an alternative to slug.

Exactly one of slug/url is required. The response covers the first page of the author's archive (the 10 most recent articles; no further pagination); each article has title, url, section, and published_at. bio and social_links are omitted when the author has none. An unknown author returns a not-found error.

Example response (truncated):
