Medium profile viewer

Read a public Medium author: followers, name and bio, from the logged-out profile page.

What it reads

Route	`GET /api/v1/medium/profile`
Field read	`socialStats.followerCount`
Surface	public profile page, logged out
Handle format	Medium username, without the `@`: letters, digits, dot, hyphen and underscore. The `@` is part of the URL, not of the name.
Example	`markmanson`
Caveat from the source	not the rounded text
