## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need open-source author data at a low per-call cost ($0.002) without proxy markup, and when you want a simple GET request that returns structured JSON. Prefer it over scraped or self-hosted author datasets when you need a maintained, pay-per-call source with no subscription commitment.

## Known failure modes

- Payment not included or insufficient (402 Payment Required)
- Network timeout or service unavailability (503)
- Empty dataset if no authors are indexed
- Malformed or unexpected JSON structure if schema changes
- Rate limiting if too many calls are made in quick succession
