Q: How do I get Medium data through an API?

Call POST /recipes/medium-posts with your key and tag and author and publication. You get rows with the 6 fields above. The recipe is tested against the live site every 6 hours.

Q: Can I try it without paying?

Yes. Sign up with Google, GitHub or email for a free key with 1,000 credits every month. No credit card.

Q: What if the site changes?

The health check runs every 6 hours against the live site. A failing recipe shows as failing on this page until we fix it.

The latest posts of a Medium tag, author or publication, from Medium's public RSS feed: title, link (the ?source= tracking query removed), author, publication time, categories, and the first 300 characters of the summary. Set exactly one of tag (a tag slug such as rust), author (a Medium username without the @) or publication (a publication slug); tag wins when several are set. limit caps the rows; Medium's feed carries about 10 items, so a larger limit gives no more.
