The Indian Express API endpoint

The Indian Express author profile API

Returns a The Indian Express author's profile by `url`, a canonical `indianexpress.com/profile/author/<slug>/` link: name, image URL, biography and recent articles with title, URL, summary and image. `image_url` and `biography` may be missing, and `published_at` is the page's date text such as `Sep 24, 2026 16:36 IST`, not a timestamp.

How this endpoint behaves

Query parameters:

url (required): a canonical https://indianexpress.com/profile/author/<slug>/ URL.

image_url and biography reflect whatever the author's own page shows -- not every author page carries a headshot or a bio. Each article's published_at is the page's own rendered publish-date text (for example Sep 24, 2026 16:36 IST), not a machine-readable timestamp.

Example response (truncated):

{"code":200,"data":{"url":"https://indianexpress.com/profile/author/jane-doe/","name":"Jane Doe","image_url":"https://images.indianexpress.com/2024/06/jane-doe.jpg","biography":["Jane Doe is a correspondent at The Indian Express."],"articles":[{"title":"Example headline","url":"https://indianexpress.com/article/india/example-article-slug-10892304/","published_at":"Sep 24, 2026 16:36 IST"}]}}
