Rolling Stone API endpoint
Returns a Rolling Stone author's byline metadata, biography, and recent articles (sourced from the author's own public RSS feed) from a canonical author URL.
/rollingstone/authorQuery parameters:
url (required): a canonical https://rollingstone.com/author/<slug>/ URL.job_title and image_url reflect whatever Rolling Stone's own byline page shows for that author -- not every author page carries a photo or a job title. articles is sourced from the author's own public RSS feed (<author-url>feed/), so each entry's published_at is a machine-readable timestamp rather than rendered relative-date text.
Example response (truncated):
