How health is measured
- Health = the share of calls that returned data, in percent. Empty results, failures and unknown outcomes do not count as returning data.
- Levels: 90% and above is healthy, 70% and above is available, 40% and above is limited; anything lower is mostly down.
- A period (the last 24 hours, one hour or one day) gets a score only once it has at least 50 calls. Periods with fewer calls show as normal: a few failures among a handful of calls do not mean the API is down.
- Calls include real customer calls and our own daily probe calls. Request errors (wrong parameters, no balance) are excluded.
- Average time counts only calls that completed normally: response time for sync calls, acceptance to completion for async ones.

Retrieve public publication details from Medium. Accepts these parameters: url and publication. Returns these fields: text, author_username, author_name, and is_members_only.
Price $1.39 per 1,000 requests ($0.001389 per call). Failed calls and empty results are not charged. Synchronous. For slow jobs add "mode": "async" to the body, take the job_id and poll.
Request parameters
| Name | In | Type | Required | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Authorization | header | string | Yes | - | Bearer followed by your API key. Create it in the console; never put it in a URL or a code repository. |
platform | body | string | Yes | medium | Platform identifier, fixed value. |
action | body | string | Yes | publication | Capability identifier, fixed value. |
publication | body.params | Not declared | Yes | - | Specifies a Medium publication slug or full publication URL rather than an article title or author handle, expanding standalone slugs into medium.com/<publication>. |
url | body.params | Not declared | No | - | Provides a compatibility input for full author or publication URLs in user_posts and publication; required username or publication parameters must still be supplied. Returned post lists may include restricted posts without granting access to paywalled full text. |
limit | body.params | integer (1–25) | No | 10 |

Response example
Captured September 26, 2026 at 08:56 (UTC) by calling this API with the parameters in the code sample above. results and count are that call's real response with personal information (names, handles, avatars, profile links, contact details) removed; the list keeps the first 2. id, billing and quota differ on every call, so only their shape is shown.

}Response fields
Business data is in results. The table lists the fields a record can contain; values the source does not provide are never made up.
| Field | Meaning |
|---|---|
id | The record's unique ID on the source platform. Unique only within one platform; IDs can repeat across platforms. |
url | Link to the record on the source platform. |
title | Title. null when the platform has no titles (for example text-only posts). |
text | Body text with HTML removed. Long text may be truncated. |
author_name | Author's display name. |
author_username | Author's username (@handle), usually usable in URLs. |
author_url | Link to the author's profile on the source platform. |
publication_name | Keeps the platform's own meaning |
like_count | Likes. null means the platform or this capability does not disclose it; it is not 0. |
comment_count | Comments. null means not disclosed, not 0. |
reading_time_minutes | Keeps the platform's own meaning |
is_members_only | Keeps the platform's own meaning |
posted_at | Publish time in ISO 8601, UTC (for example 2026-08-07T12:34:56+00:00). Non-standard strings from the platform are passed through as is, so parse defensively. null means the platform does not disclose it. |
image_url | Image link. Capabilities with several images may return an image_urls array. |
platform | Source platform identifier, the same as platform in the request (for example xiaohongshu, tiktok). |
tags | Array of tags. An empty array, not null, when there are none. |
Errors and billing
- 401
- Missing or invalid key. Authentication runs before parameter checks, so unauthenticated requests never see the parameter schema.
- 422
- Wrong parameter name or value. The error lists the parameters and allowed values this capability accepts and the closest match; it happens before any charge.
- 402
- Insufficient balance. Top up first.
- 429
- Per-minute request limit reached. Wait for Retry-After and try again.
- 503
- Could not complete right now. Any charge for the call goes back to your balance automatically, and the billing receipt in the response states the actual outcome, including when it is not yet known. Do not resend blindly.
- 200 empty
- The request completed without data and is not charged (billing.reason = empty_result_refunded).

- Medium: Publications and Author Pages Use Distinct Content Feeds ↗
Medium separates Publications from @username author pages, and specifies distinct content feed formats for publications on custom domains. This citation highlights object differences; inputs for this interface still follow the parameter specified above without requiring users to pass feed URLs, and no guarantee is made that all custom domains are verified.
