Extract stories from a Medium publication's archive - article titles, authors, publication dates, read times, clap counts, and response counts - to analyze content strategy, track publishing patterns, and study audience engagement.
Medium publications are curated content hubs managed by editorial teams, ranging from major outlets like Towards Data Science (700K+ followers) and Better Programming to niche industry publications with focused audiences. Each publication's archive page lists its published stories chronologically, showing the article title, author name and avatar, publication date, estimated read time, clap count (Medium's equivalent of likes), and response count. Publications often represent coordinated content strategies with consistent themes, contributor networks, and audience engagement patterns.
For content strategists studying what works on Medium, competitive analysts tracking rival publications, and marketers evaluating Medium as a distribution channel, publication archives reveal the full scope and performance of a publication's content catalog. This robot extracts story listings from Medium publication archive pages: titles, authors, dates, read times, and engagement metrics.
