Workflow

Request: the code to send to the API

Send a GET request to the resource /loudvoice/authors/<author_token>.json to retrieve details of an author. The <author_token> has to be replaced by the unique token of an existing author.

You can also access the author through it's reference using the following endpoint: /loudvoice/authors/author.json?author_reference=<author_reference>.

Result: the code returned by the API

The API will either return a HTTP status code 200 on success or an appropriate message body with further details on the error that occured.
