# Get a Raw Story author profile

`GET /rawstory/author`

## Request

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

Returns a Raw Story author's profile, looked up by `slug` (for example `bennitokelty`) or canonical `url`; exactly one is required. The response has the name, `bio`, avatar, social links and the 15 most recent stories, each with title, URL and a `YYYY-MM-DD` date. Older stories are not reachable, and an unknown author returns not-found.
