How this service works
Article author and byline detection: author from meta tags, schema.org Article/Person, rel=author links and byline patterns, plus published/modified dates and the publisher name. Attribution for research and citation. $0.01 per page.
Output
Returns the detected author name and byline, the publisher/outlet name, the original publication date, and the last modified date — sourced from meta tags, schema.org Article/Person markup, rel=author links, and heuristic byline patterns found on the page.
Example use cases
Academic citation attribution
“I need to properly cite this article — can you pull the author name, publisher, and publication date from https://www.wired.com/story/ai-regulation-2024/ so I can format a proper reference?”
Fake news author verification
“Can you check who actually wrote this piece and who published it? Grab the author and byline details from https://example-news-site.com/controversial-article so I can verify the source.”
Content aggregation metadata enrichment
“I'm building a news digest and need author and publisher info for each article — extract the author name, publication date, and publisher from https://techcrunch.com/2024/03/01/startup-funding-roundup/.”

Endpoint
GEThttps://intel.rallylive.ca/site/authorWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need structured author attribution, byline, or publication date data from a specific article URL — especially for research, citation generation, or content provenance verification. It is preferable to general-purpose page scrapers when the primary goal is author/publisher metadata rather than full page content.
Side effects
- Page has no author metadata — returns null or empty author fields
- URL is behind a paywall or requires login — may return incomplete data
- Dynamically rendered pages (JavaScript-heavy) may not expose author markup to a server-side fetch
- Ambiguous byline patterns may result in incorrect author attribution
- Network timeout or unreachable URL returns an error response
