# Get a Punch author archive

`GET /punch/author`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.crawlora.net/api/v1`
- URL: `https://api.crawlora.net/api/v1/punch/author`

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.
