How this endpoint behaves
Query parameters:
url(required): a canonicalhttps://screenrant.com/author/<slug>/URL.
title, image_url, and biography reflect whatever the author's own profile page shows. social_links lists the author's own accounts (x, linkedin, facebook, instagram, bluesky, threads, tiktok, youtube, twitch, muckrack, or a generic website); the site's internal profile link is not included. articles is the profile page's own "Latest" module (about 20 items); older pages are not available.
Example response (truncated):
{"code":200,"data":{"url":"https://screenrant.com/author/liam-crowley/","name":"Liam Crowley","title":"Reporter","biography":"Liam leads ScreenRant's red carpet and events coverage out of NYC.","social_links":[{"type":"x","url":"https://x.com/LiamTCrowley"}],"articles":[{"title":"Example headline","url":"https://screenrant.com/example-article-slug/"}]}}
