This repository contains the documentation for Medium’s API. Medium’s API is a JSON-based OAuth2 API. All requests are made to endpoints beginning: https://api.medium.com/v1 All requests must be secure, i.e. https, not http. By using Medium’s API, you agree to our terms of service. In order to publish on behalf of a Medium account, you will need an access token. An access token grants limited access to a user’s account. We offer two ways to acquire an access token: browser-based OAuth authentication, and self-issued access tokens. We recommend using self-issued access tokens. Browser-based authentication is supported for existing integrations only. Self-issued access tokens (described in user-facing copy as integration tokens) are explicitly designed for desktop integrations where implementing browser-based authentication is non-trivial, or software like plugins where it is impossible to secure a client secret. You should not request that a user give you an integration token if you don’t meet…
