How this endpoint behaves

Query parameters:

url (required): a canonical https://www.thisismoney.co.uk/profile-<id>/<slug>.html URL (DMG Media's reporter-profile shape, shared with its sibling Daily Mail sites).

job_title is split from the page's own combined "Name, Job Title" heading and can be empty when an author has no title suffix. coverage lists the topic tags the page shows under "Coverage:" (for example "Money", "Bills") and can be empty. Each article's published_at is an ISO-8601 timestamp taken directly from the platform's own embedded data.

Example response (truncated):
