Hey Alfredo, thanks for the resource. Did you gather this info by guessing and checking or did you look at the source? github.com/thepracticaldev/dev.to/...
In either case, do you know if there's a way to look up a user by Github username?
Seems like this is where the magic happens, but I don't know how to read Ruby: github.com/thepracticaldev/dev.to/...
Thanks for putting this all in one spot Alfredo!
Hi, how do I get the content of the article?
to get the content of an article
dev.to/api/articles/{articleID}
for example, for this article
dev.to/api/articles/94179
How can I get all articles of specific user?
All API return paged lists, the only way to get all the articles of a user is to call dev.to/api/articles?username={user... until the reply is an empty array.
Is it possible to get users by location?
Is it possible to get the articles in created_at desc? Or do I need to sort it myself??
It's not possible, as today you can only get articles by published_at desc based on the top query parameters
For all, I have found the openapi3.0 definitions of all the API and have created a swagger website.
dev-to-swagger
Thanks for this - very interesting. If you have a spare moment, could you tell me how to find the articleID for a post please?
