How does the Bulk Author Finder API work?

Create a bulk operation by uploading article URLs, then launch the operation. The API extracts author information and finds their email addresses asynchronously for all URLs.

What is the maximum batch size?

You can process up to 10,000 article URLs per bulk operation. For larger datasets, create multiple bulk operations.

What types of URLs are supported?

The API works with blog posts, news articles, and content pages from most CMS platforms including WordPress, Medium, Ghost, and custom publishing systems.

What results are returned?

Each result includes the author's email address, full name, company, position, LinkedIn profile, confidence score, and sources where the information was found.

How long does processing take?

Время обработки зависит от количества URL. Обычно обработка занимает 2-3 секунды на URL. Пакет из 5 000 URL, как правило, обрабатывается за несколько часов.

How are credits calculated?

Each URL that returns an author email counts as 1 request. URLs where no author email is found are not counted against your quota.

Are webhooks supported?

Yes, configure a webhook URL to receive a notification when your bulk author finder operation completes with results ready for download.

What if an article has multiple authors?

The API returns the primary author's email address. For articles with multiple authors, consider using individual Author Finder API calls.

Can I use this for digital PR and journalist outreach?

Yes. Teams use Bulk Author Finder to build media and contributor lists at scale, then route high-confidence contacts into outreach sequences.

What helps improve match accuracy?

Provide clean canonical article URLs, avoid homepage/category pages, and remove URL duplicates before submission to maximize extraction quality.
