@beskar-labs/medium-feed v2.0.3

Medium Feed

A handy RSS to JSON parser for Medium. Since Medium don't provide a neat REST API, this is a workaround to get the latest posts from a Medium user. It works by fetching a user's RSS feed and parsing it into JSON. It includes a bunch of useful utility that figure out things like the cover photo and subtitle. Additionally, Medium's RSS feed returns one of two formats (AFAIK). This parser handles both.

Installation

yarn add @beskar-labs/medium-feed

Usage

The module exports a single function that takes a Medium username (without the @) and returns a promise that resolves to an array of posts. There's also another param for url - if this is provided, all URLs that don't start with it will open in a new tab.

import getMediumFeed from '@beskar-labs/medium-feed';

/* Example of parsing the first Medium feed format */
const feed1 = await getMediumFeed({
  username: 'leerob',
  url: 'https://leerob.io/',
});

/* Example of parsing the second Medium feed format */
const feed2 = await getMediumFeed({ username: 'abityastunggal' });
