Medium SDK for Go

This repository contains the open source SDK for integrating Medium's OAuth2 API into your Go app.

Install

go get github.com/Medium/medium-sdk-go

Usage

Create a client, then call commands on it.

package main

import (
    medium "github.com/medium/medium-sdk-go"
    "log"
)

func main() {
    // Go to https://medium.com/me/applications to get your applicationId and applicationSecret.
    m := medium.NewClient("YOUR_APPLICATION_ID", "YOUR_APPLICATION_SECRET")

    // Build the URL where you can send the user to obtain an authorization code.
    url := m.GetAuthorizationURL("secretstate", "https://yoursite.com/callback/medium",
        medium.ScopeBasicProfile, medium.ScopePublishPost)

    // (Send the user to the authorization URL to obtain an authorization code.)

    // Exchange the authorization code for an access token.
    at, err := m.ExchangeAuthorizationCode("YOUR_AUTHORIZATION_CODE", "https://yoursite.com/callback/medium")
    if err != nil {
        log.Fatal(err)
    }

    // The access token is automatically set on the client for you after
    // a successful exchange, but if you already have a token, you can set it
    // directly.
    m.AccessToken = at.AccessToken

    // If you have a self-issued access token, you can skip these steps and
    // create a new client directly:
    m2 := medium.NewClientWithAccessToken("SELF_ISSUED_ACCESS_TOKEN")

    // Get profile details of the user identified by the access token.
    // Empty string mean current user, otherwise you need to indicate
    // the user id (alphanumeric string with 65 chars)
    u, err := m2.GetUser("")
    if err != nil {
        log.Fatal(err)
    }

    // Create a draft post.
    p, err := m.CreatePost(medium.CreatePostOptions{
        UserID:        u.ID,
        Title:         "Title",
        Content:       "<h2>Title</h2><p>Content</p>",
        ContentFormat: medium.ContentFormatHTML,
        PublishStatus: medium.PublishStatusDraft,
    })
    if err != nil {
        log.Fatal(err)
    }

    // When your access token expires, use the refresh token to get a new one.
    nt, err := m.ExchangeRefreshToken(at.RefreshToken)
    if err != nil {
        log.Fatal(err)
    }

    // Confirm everything went ok. p.URL has the location of the created post.
    log.Println(url, at, u, p, nt)
}
