(Using Medium API Python Package)
If you're interested in finding related articles on Medium, you can achieve this with the Medium API in Python. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you get started.
Before diving into the code, make sure you have the following:
pip install medium-apiFirst, you'll need to import the necessary libraries for interacting with the Medium API.
This code imports os for accessing environment variables and Medium from the medium_api package for API interactions.
Retrieve your Medium API key from the environment variables.
Ensure that you have set your API key in the environment variable RAPIDAPI_KEY. This key allows you to authenticate your requests to the Medium API.
Instantiate the Medium class using your API key.
This object will be used to interact with the Medium API and perform various operations, such as fetching related articles.
To get related articles for a specific article, first, obtain the article object and then fetch related articles.
Replace "67fa62fc1971" with the ID of the article you are interested in. This code fetches the related articles for the given article.
Finally, loop through the related articles and print their titles along with their word counts.
This loop iterates through the list of related articles and prints out their titles and word counts, giving you a quick overview of related content.
With these steps, you can easily fetch and display related articles from Medium using Python and the Medium API. This can be particularly useful for content discovery and enhancing user engagement by providing related reading material.
