Welcome To Medium Scraper ## 🍂 About Medium.com Medium is an American online publishing platform for written content such as articles and blogs, developed by Evan Williams and launched in August 2012. It is owned by A Medium Corporation.[2] The platform is an example of social journalism, having a hybrid collection of amateur and professional people and publications, or exclusive blogs or publishers on Medium,[3] and is regularly regarded as a blog host. Williams, who previously co-founded Blogger and Twitter,[4] initially developed Medium as a means to publish writings and documents longer than Twitter's 140-character (now 280-character) maximum. In March 2021, Medium announced a change in its publishing strategy and business model, reducing its own publications and increasing support of independent writers.[5] ## 🍂 About This Actor All-in-One tool for scraping Medium.com ## 🍂 Tutorial ### 🍿 Parameters | Parameter | Type | Description | |-|-|-| | query | array | List of QUERY, KEYWORD or URL | limit | integer | Number of results per-query | filters | object | Various QUERY filters ### 🍿 Basic Usage Search for Stories yaml { "query": ["Web Scraping"], "limit": 10 } Get a user info yaml { "query": ["@elonmusk"] } ### 🍿 Advanced Usage #### MEDIUM QUERY LANGUAGE (MEQL) html [ <COMMAND:> | # | @ ] [ <NAME> | <ID> | <KEYWORD> | <URL> ] [ /<SECTION> ] #### Possible QUERY Values | Format | Example | Description | |-|-|-| | <KEYWORDS> | search terms | Search Anything | | <KEYWORDS> | Python | Search for stories | | users:<KEYWORDS> | users:john | Search for users/people | | topics:<KEYWORDS> | topics:java | Search for topics | | collections:<KEYWORDS> | collections:python | Search for publications
