I assume that April 9th was that last day for gathering every single article? Nice
Yeah so I am currently analysing 9.3 gigs of articles (no images in that).
Going to be doing a post on the best time to post to DEV.to and some other fun stuff with it soon.
Holy...
How much storage do you have :O
Oh loads - I think we currently have 250gb provisioned and only use about 100gb day to day, but it is a VPS so I can add 25gb for about £4 / £5 a month.
Nice! Can I borrow your VPS really quick? XD
Haha - if only I could I would but I wouldn’t want anyone seeing all my cobbled together backend code 😜
I probably wouldn't understand it :P I'm not into frontend very much, and would barely understand even aesthetic-looking code. I'm more for python.
I wouldn’t worry, even I don’t understand half the code I have written! 🤣
Has anybody else used the dev.to API yet?
If you have and you have written about it in the past reply to this comment and I will feature your article within this post.
I have use it on my CSS related website to grab my own articles with their stat here: css-challenges.com/blog/
Have you written about it anywhere? I will link to your article if you have!
not yet :) will probably do it in the future.
Actually - hang on, where did you get the viewcounts? Is that a different endpoint?
Nevermind, I realised you can get view counts for your own articles but not for everybody elses.
You will find different endpoint for the same purpose and some them requires the API key. This one: docs.forem.com/api/#operation/getU... can give you the viewcounts. I don't think you can get the viewcounts for articles that aren't yours.
I "used" it to deploy this dev-stats endpoint:
A simple RESTful service to display DEV.to stats

What I have decided to do (as this post is getting very little traffic due to when I deployed it and the unclear title etc.) is to feature API users in a future article as well.
However your article should now be showing up at the bottom of this article just to keep my promise!
Great usage of the API, followed 😀
