Us Weekly author profile API

How this endpoint behaves

Query parameters:

url (required): a canonical https://www.usmagazine.com/author/<slug>/ URL. Author URLs appear in each article's byline.

biography and links reflect whatever the author's own page shows; staff and desk bylines may have neither. Each link's type is read from the page's own link markup (for example email or linkedin) rather than a fixed enum. articles lists the author's newest articles (about 20); photo galleries are omitted and the page carries no publish dates, so published_at is not set.

Example response (truncated):

{"code":200,"data":{"url":"https://www.usmagazine.com/author/jane-doe/","name":"Jane Doe","biography":["Jane Doe is a writer for Us."],"links":[{"type":"linkedin","url":"https://www.linkedin.com/in/jane-doe"}],"articles":[{"title":"Example headline","url":"https://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-news/news/example-article-slug"}]}}
