How to retrieve Medium stories for a user from the API?

Question

I\'m trying to integrate Medium blogging into an app by showing some cards with posts images and links to the original Medium publication.

From Medium API docs I can see

Answer 1

(Updating the JS Fiddle and the Clay function that explains it as we updated the function syntax to be cleaner)

I wrapped the Github package @mark-fasel was mentioning below into a Clay microservice that enables you to do exactly this:

Simplified Return Format: https://www.clay.run/services/nicoslepicos/medium-get-user-posts-new/code

I put together a little fiddle, since a user was asking how to use the endpoint in HTML to get the titles for their last 3 posts: https://jsfiddle.net/h405m3ma/3/

You can call the API as:

curl -i -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST -d '{"username":"nicolaerusan"}' https://clay.run/services/nicoslepicos/medium-get-users-posts-simple

You can also use it easily in your node code using the clay-client npm package and just write:

Clay.run('nicoslepicos/medium-get-user-posts-new', {"profile":"profileValue"})
.then((result) => {

  // Do what you want with returned result
  console.log(result);

})
.catch((error) => {

  console.log(error);

});

Hope that's helpful!
