Medium Nodejs Client

Medium Nodejs Client is a Node.js wrapper for the official Medium API. It allows you to retrieve user information, create posts, and access a list of publications. Additionally, you can fetch a user's post list by their username. This package includes all the official Medium REST API functionalities, with two extra capabilities: retrieving a list of posts and getting a list of post titles.

[!WARNING] The official medium api is no longer supported or maintained by Medium. Plugin can't work if medium shutdown their rest api.

Install

npm i medium-nodejs-client

Implementation

Create a medium client with medium token and then use it.

import { MediumClient, PostContentFormat, PostPublishStatus, PostLicense } from "medium-nodejs-client";

// Access Token is optional, can also be set
const medium = new MediumClient('YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN');

async function main() {
    //Get the user information
    const user = await medium.getUser();

    //Get publication with medium userId
    const publication = await medium.getPublicationsForUser({ userId: "" }) //Use medium user id from user

    //Get Contributors list for a specific publication
    const contributors = await medium.getContributorsForPublication({ publicationId: "" }) // Use publication id here

    //Publish a new medium post
    const post = await medium.createPost({
        title: 'A new post',
        content: '<h1>A New Post</h1><p>This is my new post.</p>',
        contentFormat: PostContentFormat.HTML,
        publishStatus: PostPublishStatus.DRAFT,
    });

    //Create post under publication
    const postInPublication = await medium.createPostInPublication({
        title: "A new publication post",
        content: "<h1>A New Post</h1><p>This is my new post.</p>",
        userId: "", //User id
        publicationId: "", //Publication ID
        contentFormat: PostContentFormat.HTML,
        tags: ["tag1"],
        canonicalUrl: "",
        publishStatus: PostPublishStatus.DRAFT,
        license: PostLicense.CC_40_BY
    })

    //See the medium documentation for response and payload types.
}

Get post list using username

Here you need to create a medium client without providing token. Token is not required here.

import { MediumClient, MediumPostResponse } from 'medium-nodejs-client';

// Access Token is optional, can also be set
const medium = new MediumClient();

async function main() {
    const posts = await medium.getPosts("siamahnaf")

    //This will give you following result in following format
     MediumPostResponse {
        id: string;
        mediumUrl: string;
        title: string;
        pubDate: number;
        author: {
            name: string;
            avatar: string;
        }
        thumbnail: string;
        responseCount: number;
        previewContent: string;
        readingTime: number;
        clapCount: number;
        slug: string;
        categories: string[];
    }

    //Get only medium post title using username
    const postTitles = await medium.getPostTitles("siamahnaf")

    //It will give you string of array with medium post title
}
