The Medium API. Rebuilt for developers.
Clean endpoints. Stable contracts. No scraping.
When Medium retired their official API, developers were left with brittle scrapers and unreliable workarounds. Zenndra gives you 49 production-grade REST endpoints — so you can build, not maintain.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know before you wire Zenndra into your stack.
Is Zenndra affiliated with Medium?
No. Zenndra is an independent API built after Medium retired their official API. We are not endorsed by or connected to Medium Corporation.
How is this different from scrapers?
Scrapers break when Medium changes their site. Zenndra exposes stable REST endpoints with documented responses — you integrate once, not every time the HTML shifts.
Do I need a Medium account?
For most read endpoints, no. You need a Zenndra API key. Some write or authenticated flows may require Medium credentials depending on the endpoint.
What are the rate limits?
Limits depend on your plan. Free is hard capped at 20 requests per week on 2 endpoints you choose — no overage billing, basic queue. Pro and Ultra use default and priority queues with monthly pools and $0.004 per additional request. Enterprise gets a dedicated channel — see pricing for details.
Can I use this in production?
Yes. Pro and Ultra plans are designed for live apps. Enterprise adds SLAs and dedicated infrastructure for high-volume teams.
Is there an OpenAPI spec?
Yes. We publish an OpenAPI document so you can generate clients, validate requests, and keep your integration typed end to end.
What happens if an endpoint fails?
You get structured error codes and messages — not raw HTML or silent timeouts. Our status page tracks incidents and uptime.
How do I get an API key?
Create a free account at zenndra.com to get your key. The playground works without signing in; paid plans unlock higher limits and production throughput.
