I have created my own portfolio and described what it has in a previous article. In this article, I will show how I use DEV Community API to fetch articles that I have published.
Get API 🔑
Like every API, you need to get your API key first.
Go to your settings/extensions pages
Find the section name “DEV Community API Keys” at the end and fill the description with every text you want (ex: Expose Article), click button to generate API key
It will generate the collapsed item below, exposing it to get the key
Get published articles
After you got API key, you can use the code below to get the data
* Get published articles.
* @param {number} page_size – the number of items to return per page.
*/
function fetch_articles(page_size = 7){
// Build URL
const base_url = “https://dev.to“; // domain
const router = “api/articles/me“; // API router
const url = `${base_url}/${router}?per_page=${page_size}`; // https://dev.to/api/articles/me/published?per_page=7
// Get data from API
const response = await fetch(url, {
headers: {
“Content-Type“: “application/json“,
“API-Key“: “Your Key Is Here“,
},
}).then((data) => data.json());
return response;
}
Conclusion
So that is the way I use DEV Community API to get published articles. In the next article, I will write about why and how I combine Google Sheets + Google Drive to save my pet projects 😬
Happy Coding!
