Syndication to Medium

[chrisaldrich]

Now that Medium's API now supports posting and in addition to their "import post" functionality (POSSE), their bulk POSSE method, as well as their WordPress Plugin, it would be great if Syndication Links could programatically grab the URL from the plugin for inclusion. (I don't think any of the other methods provide data, but I could be wrong.)

For reference the WordPress Medium Plugin is storing the data in postmeta in meta_key named "medium_post"

Here's an example from something that I posted recently from that field: O:11:"Medium_Post":11:{s:16:"author_image_url";s:69:"https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/fit/c/200/200/0*ici7OvT6gSngj2t9.jpeg (14KB) ";s:10:"author_url";s:32:"https://medium.com/@chrisaldrich";s:11:"byline_name";N;s:12:"byline_email";N;s:10:"cross_link";s:2:"no";s:2:"id";s:12:"4335e2d72369";s:21:"follower_notification";s:3:"yes";s:7:"license";s:19:"all-rights-reserved";s:14:"publication_id";s:12:"12b80d28f892";s:6:"status";s:6:"public";s:3:"url";s:73:"https://medium.com/@chrisaldrich/wordcamp-orange-county-2016-4335e2d72369";}

It's obviously the final URL in the array that you'd want to scrape.

Thanks David! It was great to see you at IWC-LA. Thanks for flying out to see us all.

I'm confirming that I've updated and done a test syndication to Medium. This works perfectly.
