description: >-
  First-party client libraries published by Medium for its OAuth2 REST API. Every one of them is
  dormant: the Node SDK's last npm release is 2016, the Go module's last proxied version is 2017,
  the Python SDK was never published to PyPI, and the official WordPress plugin was closed by
  Medium's own request in 2019. The API itself is marked "no longer supported" in Medium's own
  documentation repository, so the SDK decay tracks the product decision rather than neglect.

    Read from registry.npmjs.org/medium-sdk (dist-tags.latest + time). The repository README opens
    with "This sdk is no longer supported or maintained by Medium." Last publish predates the API's
    own closure to new integrations by eight years.

    Read from proxy.golang.org/github.com/!medium/medium-sdk-go/@latest. Untagged pseudo-version
    only — Medium never cut a semantic release.

  install: pip install -r requirements.txt  # from a source checkout
  note: >-
    Checked pypi.org/pypi/medium-sdk/json (404) — Medium never published this SDK to PyPI, so there
    is no registry metadata endpoint to date. Installation is from a git checkout, per the
    repository README, which also states "This code is no longer supported or maintained by Medium."
    The unrelated PyPI package `medium-api` (0.6.1, 2025-07-16) is a third-party project by another
    author and is NOT marked official here.

  status: closed
  note: >-
    api.wordpress.org/plugins/info/1.0/medium.json returns {"error":"closed", "closed":true,
    "closed_date":"2019-08-28", "reason":"author-request"} — Medium asked for its own official
    cross-posting plugin to be permanently withdrawn from the WordPress directory. No version or
    date is recoverable from the registry because the listing no longer serves package metadata.
