Returns an AP News author's byline metadata, biography, and recent articles from a canonical author URL. The service uses the configured production browser fleet when ordinary HTTP transport encounters AP's edge challenge; it does not bypass authentication or access controls. Billing is 1 credit for an HTTP-profile success and 5 credits when browser rendering is required.
