The Dev.to API enables programmatic interaction with Dev.to, a community for software developers to share articles and engage with content. Through the API, you can automate content creation, management, and analysis. Accessing user articles, managing comments, and triggering actions based on Dev.to events are just a few capabilities at your disposal. By leveraging these with Pipedream's serverless platform, you can craft powerful automations that respond in real-time to activities on Dev.to, streamlining your content strategy and community engagement.
import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
props: {
dev_to: {
type: "app",
app: "dev_to",
}
},
async run({steps, $}) {
return await axios($, {
url: `https://dev.to/api/articles/me`,
headers: {
"api-key": `${this.dev_to.$auth.api_key}`,
},
})
},
})
Content Synchronization: Sync new Dev.to articles to other platforms like Medium or your personal blog. When a new article is published on Dev.to, Pipedream can automatically format and post it to other platforms, keeping your content consistent across the web.
Social Media Sharing: Amplify your content reach by auto-sharing published Dev.to articles to social networks such as Twitter or LinkedIn. Once your article goes live, trigger a Pipedream workflow that posts a tailored message with the article link to your social profiles.
Comment Moderation Alert System: Maintain a healthy community by setting up a comment moderation alert system. Use Pipedream to monitor new comments on your Dev.to articles, applying sentiment analysis via a machine learning API. Get instant notifications for negative sentiments allowing you to respond or moderate quickly.
Emit new event for each new story that has a matching tag (e.g., javascript)

Emit new event for each new reading list item on your Dev.to account
Dev.to uses API keys for authentication. When you connect your Dev.to account, Pipedream securely stores the keys so you can easily authenticate to Dev.to APIs in both code and no-code steps.
