📰 Medium To JSON

Turn any Medium feed into a JSON object you can consume on your own site.

Getting Started

1. Clone this repo
2. Install dependencies by running npm install
3. Start the serer by running npm start
4. Open your favorite API client (Postman or Insomnia for instance) or just open up a browser tab to make a GET request to 'http://localhost:8081/api/medium-posts/<MEDIUM_USERNAME>' to fetch the posts from a specific Medium user.

Implement In Your Front End App

To use this in your own application, just install the rss-to-json package:

npm install rss-to-json

And adapt the following logic from the endpoint to your needs:

import { parse } from 'rss-to-json'

const fetchPosts = async (username) => {
  const getFeed = async () => {
    let rss = await parse(`https://medium.com/feed/@${username}`)

    return JSON.stringify(rss, null, 3)
  }

  const json = await getFeed()
  const posts = JSON.parse(json).items

  return posts
}

Enjoy!
