# Get a Space.com author profile

`GET /space/author`

## Request

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

Returns a Space.com author's profile, looked up by `slug` (for example `elizabeth-howell`) or canonical `url`; exactly one is required. The response has the name, `job_title`, biography, image and the first batch of recent articles on the author page. That page has no URL-based pagination, so no further articles are available.
