      The Dev.to Forem API (v1) is a RESTful API that provides programmatic access
      to the Dev.to developer community platform, which is built on the open-source
      Forem framework. The API enables developers to create, read, update, and manage
      articles (blog posts, discussions, help threads), comments, users, organizations,
      tags, followers, listings, and webhooks. It uses API key authentication, requires
      an accept header of application/vnd.forem.api-v1+json, and returns JSON responses.

      The Dev.to Webhooks API allows developers to subscribe to real-time
      notifications for events occurring on the Dev.to platform. By creating
      webhook subscriptions, applications can receive HTTP callbacks when
      specific events happen, such as new articles being published. This
      enables event-driven integrations and automation workflows that respond
      immediately to activity on the platform without the need to continuously
      poll the REST API for changes.

  Access Forem articles, users and other resources via API. For a real-world example
  of Forem in action, check out [DEV](https://www.dev.to). All endpoints can be accessed
  with the 'api-key' header and a accept header, but some of them are accessible publicly
  without authentication. Dates and date times, unless otherwise specified, must be
  in the [RFC 3339](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3339) format.
