The API presents individual features behind individual URLs. The information on the profile page is combined from several sources; to get the details you requested, you will have to submit multiple requests. Probably start at the API "Hello World" Python example and consult https://api.stackexchange.com/docsthe official documentation for the precise API endpoints; for example, https://api.stackexchange.com/2.2/users/874188?site=stackoverflow.com gets me

and https://api.stackexchange.com/2.2/users/874188/posts?site=stackoverflow.com gets me the (beginning of a paginated, newest-first) list of posts by myself (including questions as well as answers, though recently I only have the latter).

I don't see an API endpoint to get the profile information (bio and avatar etc) but those should be simple to scrape as such.
