Author

    • The AuthorType object represents the author of a question or answer and includes their display name, profile photo URL, and user type.

    • The type field uses the AuthorType enum to specify whether the author is a regular user, a Local Guide, or a merchant, avoiding the AUTHOR_TYPE_UNSPECIFIED value.
