How can I put a Medium article on my personal website?

Question

I want to include a full Medium article on my personal website. I know it's possible because it has been done here. (Notice the domain is not medium.com.)

If you click on ... on the bottom-right of a Medium article, and then click 'Embed story', you will be given a script, e.g.

<script async src="https://static.medium.com/embed.js"></script><a class="m-story" data-collapsed="true" href="https://thebillfold.com/theories-on-my-thrift-store-dog-mugs-or-who-paid-money-to-have-these-manufactured-562f9d5632a4">Theories on My Thrift Store Dog Mugs, Or: Who Paid Money to Have These Manufactured?</a>

The problem is that this embed is just the title and abstract. The full Medium article text is not included.

How can I embed a full Medium.com article on my personal website?

Answer 1

That’s not an embedded article, it’a custom domain for Medium. See here for more details.

You need to create a Medium Publication in order to be able to publish with Medium on your own domain.

As per Medium Help, the embedding feature is no longer supported.

Can I embed Medium on other sites?

Medium embeds on other sites are no longer supported.

Regarding the embedding process, check the following note on the Embed Medium Anywhere help page.

Important: Some blog services strip script tags and this prevents Medium embeds from functioning. ☹

So that might be your problem.

Also, apparently, only the title and abstract of the post are embedded, not the full text.

Answer 2

I ran into this issue as well and have been trying to figure out a solution for the last few days. There were a couple of articles I found which had old ways to do it but these didn't work anymore.

I ended up figuring out how to do this using the api from rsstojson.com and then using the generated JSON. You could do this for a single post or for all of your blog posts.

I detailed how I did this on my blog here and also set up a CodePen for you to have a closer look if my post isn't too clear.

Answer 3

I ran into a similar problem.

After reading a few blogs, I came up with my own solution.

You will need to use the rss2json converter - https://rss2json.com as you will get a CORS error if you directly access the JSON content from medium.com/@username/latest?format=json. Then, you can use the rss2json API to retrieve your latest blog posts and display them on your webpage.

Furthermore, I have written a blog post on this solution here.

You can enter code into a Medium article on MacOS by doing the following:

Command + Option + 6

On Windows, this equates to:

Ctrl + Alt + 6.
