Medius
A decent and easy Medium API client for Python.
I create this project because I found the official Medium SDK for Python badly written and not covering all the endpoints of the API (sorry, Medium team, that's the truth...). And I wanted something really simple to use, intended for programatic access first through a very simple interface.
It is opinionated but, at least, it's easy to hack into the Client class and change whatever you need.
Install
pip install -U 'git+https://github.com/cleberzavadniak/medius.git'
Usage
from os import getenv
from medius.client import Client
client = Client(getenv('MEDIUM_ACCESS_TOKEN))
post_data = {
'title': 'Post Title',
'content': '<p>Post content</p>',
'tags': ['cars', 'engines', 'Gurgel']
}
# Create a new post (by default it will be created as "draft"):
new_post = client.post('posts', post_data)
# Create a new post with publication date different than now and into a publication and without notifying the publication followers:
post_data['publishedAt'] = '2017-01-01 12:34:56'
post_data['notifyFollowers'] = False
new_post = client.post_into_publication('<publication_name>', post_data)Posts
Medius will prepend <h1>{the_post_title_you_set}</h1> to your post
content, the way most people do in the online editor.
Listings
Medium API is not very rich in terms of listing things, so I found that most
of the GETs on the endpoints will return 404 Not Found errors, even when
you are sure there is something that should be listed. It's not Medius
Client fault.
