(Using Medium API Python Package)
In this guide, we'll walk you through using the Medium API to search for tags related to a specific query. This process can help you find relevant topics and users on Medium. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to do this with Python.
Before diving into the code, make sure you have the medium-api package installed. You can install it using pip:
pip install medium-apiFirst, you need to import the required libraries. In our case, we use the os library for environment variables and Medium from medium_api to interact with the Medium platform.
Medium requires an API key to authenticate your requests. For security, this key should be stored as an environment variable. Here, we fetch the API key from the environment using os.getenv.
Make sure you have set this environment variable in your system before running the code.
With your API key, you can create an instance of the Medium class. This object will be used to make API requests.
Now you can search for tags related to a specific query. For example, if you want to find tags related to "blockchain," use the search_tags method.
Finally, loop through the results to print out the details of each tag. This will display relevant information about the tags returned from your search.
By following these steps, you can search for tags on Medium related to your query. This can be useful for discovering trending topics and engaging with content that matches your interests. If you need to refine your search or handle different types of queries, you can adjust the parameters and methods used in the Medium class.
Feel free to modify the code to suit your needs and explore the Medium API further!
