# Get a 9to5Mac author profile

`GET /ninetofivemac/author`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.crawlora.net/api/v1`
- URL: `https://api.crawlora.net/api/v1/ninetofivemac/author`
- Auth: API key in header `x-api-key`

Returns a 9to5Mac author profile from `url`, a canonical `https://9to5mac.com/author/<slug>/` address: name, avatar, `biography`, `social_links` and the first page of recent articles. Each social link's `type` comes from the page's icon, and each article's `published_at` is the page's own text, such as `9 hours ago`, not a timestamp.
