Returns an Ars Technica contributor's byline metadata (name, job title, headshot, contact email), biography, and recent articles from a canonical author URL. The service uses the configured production browser fleet when ordinary HTTP transport encounters Ars Technica's bot-verification challenge; it does not bypass authentication or access controls.
