# Get author profile page

```jsx
// NOTE: you must have a comment cid from the author to load his profile page
// e.g. the page url would be /#/u/<authorAddress>/c/<commentCid>
const authorResult = useAuthor({ commentCid, authorAddress });
const { imageUrl } = useAuthorAvatar({ author: authorResult.author });
const { authorComments, lastCommentCid, hasMore, loadMore } = useAuthorComments({
  commentCid,

});

// result
if (authorResult.state === "succeeded") {
  console.log("Succeeded getting author", authorResult.author);
}
if (state === "failed") {
  console.log("Failed getting author", authorResult.error.message);
}

// listing the author comments with infinite scroll

// it is recommended to always redirect the user to the last known comment cid
// in case they want to share the url with someone, the author's comments
// will load faster when using the last comment cid
