Reuters API endpoint
Returns a Reuters author's profile by canonical `url` (`https://www.reuters.com/authors/<slug>/`): name, company, editorial email, social accounts, profile image, `total_articles` and the first 20 recent articles, each with title, URL, summary, publication time and an image when the story card has one. Accounts the page does not list are absent.
/reuters/authorQuery parameter: required url, a canonical Reuters author profile URL, https://www.reuters.com/authors/<slug>/. Any other host or path is rejected with a bad-request error before any upstream request.
Returns the author's public profile, read from the page's own author-bio module plus its first page (20 items) of recent stories: name, affiliated company/newsroom, editorial email, social/contact links, a profile image, the total number of stories Reuters currently attributes to the author (total_articles), and recent articles (title, URL, summary, publication time, and lead image where the story card has one). social_accounts reflects whatever contact links the author's page actually shows -- unlisted accounts are simply absent, not an error.
