Sample responses, schemas, request previews, and code snippets are visible before sign in. Create an account when you are ready to save an API key and run authenticated requests.
Vanguard publishes no author profile pages, so this returns the recent articles in one public feed (site-wide by default, or one section) credited to a byline, matched on the on-page "By <Name>" line or the site's creator field.
