medium-api-docs VS rollout

For more Reference you can check this API documentation of Medium Here.

Figure out why the Medium API is not working!! According to their site their API has been deprecated so even after reviewing with Allen the whole code, I keep getting an error that my AuthorId is wrong. We believe it's a problem on their side but I still want it to work.

We will be using Medium's REST API for this part. You can find the documentation here.

Medium's API does not support such a use case so you'll have to hire someone on Fiverr to write a custom script to do that

Like Dev.to, Medium also has REST API to create posts. In this tutorial, we are going to work with /posts endpoint to create a new blog post.

There is some documentation on Medium API, we can even post to a Publication, that shall be created in future. Also the cover images can be posted on medium, it is not currently done but that can again be a #TODO. The tags are not rendered on Medium yet with the script. The way we can parse strings is limited in BASH, so this might still be a doable thing later. Most of the checkboxes are ticked like title, subtitle, cover-image, canonical url, and importantly the content.

Okay so today's post is actually kind of fun. As you probably don't know, Medium doesn't have a proper fetch API. They only have a publishing API which makes sense as they want to be own the reading experience, not just the publishing. So, if you want to show your Medium posts on your site, you'll need to do a bit of work.

I recently looked at using pjeziorowski's rollout tool to cross-publish to hashnode and devto. Started making a few minor changes. Then considered a few contentious changes. And in the end decided I should just make my own in Rust. Because... Rust in all the things.

As I mentioned earlier, you can see the tool's code in its Github repository. If you like the idea or the tool works for you - please give it a star and leave a feedback comment (if they are yet implemented on this site, ha) or contact me on Twitter/Linkedin directly.
