How this endpoint behaves
Returns a The Daily Caller author's byline metadata, job title, optional biography, contact links, and their newest articles (the first page of the author archive, about 40 items).
Query parameters:
url(required): a canonicalhttps://dailycaller.com/author/<slug>/URL. Slugs are case-insensitive and can be handles (EmilyKopp), dotted (lauren.boebert), or email-shaped ([email protected]); take the slug from the author link on any Daily Caller article byline. Author archive pagination (/page/2/) is not accepted.
title is the author's job title. biography is present only when the author wrote one (many authors have none). social_links lists whatever the page shows; each entry's type is one of email, rss, x, facebook, instagram, linkedin, youtube, or other. Each article carries title, url, image_url, and an optional type label; the archive lists no publish times. An unknown author returns 404.
Example response (truncated):
