How this service works
Pay-per-call structured web data. Failed or empty runs are not charged.
Output
Returns a JSON object with a count of retrieved items and an array of article records, each containing the article URL, title, author name, summary text, Medium article ID, publication date, last updated date, and category tags. If fetchFullArticle is enabled, summaries are replaced with full scraped text where accessible.
Example use cases
Monitor tech topic for new posts
“Fetch the latest 15 Medium articles under the 'data-science' and 'python' tags — I want to see titles, authors, publish dates, and summaries so I can track what's trending this week.”
Aggregate a specific author's recent writing
“Get the 10 most recent posts from Medium users @towardsdatascience and @cassie.kozyrkov — include full article text if you can grab it, not just the feed summaries.”
Track a publication's latest content
“Scrape up to 25 recent articles from the 'towards-data-science' and 'ux-collective' Medium publications and return each article's title, URL, categories, and published date.”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://x402.186-241-26-229.sslip.io/v1/medium?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need structured, pageable article data from Medium specifically — covering tags, authors, or publications — without building your own RSS parser or scraper. Prefer it over generic web scrapers when Medium RSS is the data source, and over manual browsing when you need machine-readable output at scale. The pay-per-successful-call model makes it cost-effective since failed or empty runs are not billed.
Side effects
- Empty result set if the tag, username, or publication has no recent RSS items (not charged)
- Feed URL not found or inaccessible returns no items for that feed
- Locked or paywalled Medium articles fall back to feed summary text even with fetchFullArticle enabled
- Invalid tag slugs or usernames return empty arrays silently
- Medium rate-limiting or blocking of feed requests may reduce item counts
