Extract stories from a Medium user's profile page - including writer name, follower count, bio, story titles, descriptions, dates, engagement metrics, and response counts - to track individual writers, analyze content output, and study engagement patterns.
Every Medium writer has a public profile page that showcases their complete published body of work, including their name, follower count, bio, and profile image. The profile lists all stories chronologically, displaying the article title, story description, publication date, clap count, and number of responses. For prolific writers, this can represent hundreds of articles spanning years of consistent writing.
Some Medium profiles also show featured or pinned stories. For content teams evaluating potential contributors, marketers identifying thought leaders in a niche, and researchers studying individual content creators, a Medium user profile is the single best view of a writer's output, consistency, and audience resonance. This robot extracts the writer's profile information and every story listing from a Medium user's profile page into structured data.

How is this different from the Medium publication scraper?
This scraper targets an individual writer's profile, extracting all their stories across any publication. The publication scraper extracts stories from a specific publication, across all its contributing authors.
Can I see a writer's follower count?
Yes. The robot extracts the writer's name, follower count, bio, and profile image along with all story listings.
Does it extract stories behind the Medium paywall?
The robot extracts the story listings visible on the profile page - titles, descriptions, dates, and engagement metrics. Accessing full paywalled article text requires a Medium membership.
How far back does it go?
It extracts whatever stories are displayed on the profile page. For prolific writers with years of content, this could include hundreds of stories.
Is this Medium scraper free?
