Endpoint Playground
Returns a Punch author's name and their most recent articles (the first archive page, about 30) from a canonical `url` (`https://punchng.com/author/<slug>/`). `total_pages` is the number of archive pages. Punch author pages have no biography, photo or social links, so none are returned. An unknown author returns not-found.
