DIY guide · Medium API

Session depth wins the attribution game

One article view is a bounce waiting to happen. **Related** and **recommended** endpoints exist so you can show a second and third story without sending traffic back to medium.com.

Placement ideas

  • End-of-article rail on embeds
  • Sidebar on documentation blogs
  • "More from this author" after portfolio posts

Tips

Mix API recommendations with your own rules (same tag, exclude already read). Cache per article_id for 24h.

Endpoints

  • /article/{article_id}/related
  • /article/{article_id}/recommended
