Convert Medium posts to Markdown

Turn a public Medium URL into clean, portable Markdown for LLMs, notes, research, and archives. This guide follows the same domain-swap workflow as the X guide, adapted for Medium.

Want to test the form first? Use the Medium converter or start from the all-platform preview.

Why use AnyPost for Medium?

Articles distilled to headings and prose. Instead of pasting a live URL and hoping an AI tool can read it, AnyPost returns the post as a stable Markdown document with attribution.

ApproachWhat you get
Paste the original linkPreview cards, login walls, or incomplete context
anypost.mdClean Markdown with source URL and platform context

01: Cleaner context
Markdown removes navigation, overlays, embeds, and tracking parameters so models see the post content first.

02: Better archives
The output is plain text, easy to diff, store in Obsidian, add to a CMS, or keep in a research folder.

03: Predictable automation
The browser URL swap and the JSON API share the same conversion pipeline, so scripts and manual workflows produce the same style of output.

Step-by-step workflow

01: Copy the Medium URL
Use the public permalink for the post, article, story, video, pin, or thread you want to preserve.

02: Swap the domain to anypost.md
Open the AnyPost URL in your browser. The platform prefix keeps routing explicit.

04: Copy the Markdown output
Use the result in a prompt, archive, markdown editor, CMS, or API workflow.

  • Articles distilled to headings and prose

Good for

  • Feeding exact Medium context into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Cursor, or another AI assistant.
  • Saving source posts in Obsidian, Notion, a research database, or a static-site content folder.
  • Quoting public posts with the original URL and platform timestamp kept together.
  • Building lightweight review, monitoring, or archive scripts around a stable Markdown response.

For agents: fetch Markdown, not web pages

Give AnyPost to OpenClaw, Codex, Cursor agents, Claude Code, and RAG workers as their Medium fetch layer. Instead of driving the original site, the agent should rewrite the URL to anypost.md or call /api/convert, then read the clean Markdown response.

That keeps agents out of brittle DOM scraping, rate-limit loops, login walls, and browser automation noise.

Agent setup

  • Install the anypost-md skill, or give your agent the raw SKILL.md.
  • Store an apk_ key from Login for Agents and send it as Authorization: Bearer apk_live_xxx for paid options.
  • Use the domain-swap URL when the agent wants a plain Markdown document; use /api/convert when it needs JSON fields such as markdown, credits, or structured errors.

Paid options and API usage

Medium is a paid source. After buying credits, Login with Google to redeem checkout, create an apk_ key, and pass it with the conversion request:

curl -sS -H "Authorization: Bearer apk_live_xxx" \
  "https://anypost.md/medium/@tomaspueyo/coronavirus-the-hammer-and-the-dance-be9337092b56"

When your app needs JSON fields such as markdown, credits, or structured errors, call /api/convert with the original URL:

curl -sS -H "Authorization: Bearer apk_live_xxx" \
  "https://anypost.md/api/convert?url=https%3A%2F%2Fmedium.com%2F%40tomaspueyo%2Fcoronavirus-the-hammer-and-the-dance-be9337092b56"
Entry pointResponseBest for

Medium FAQ

Can AnyPost read member-only Medium articles?

AnyPost fetches most Medium member-only and paywalled articles, returning the article body as clean Markdown.

Does it work with Medium publication domains?

Yes. Both medium.com links and custom publication domains convert, swap the host for anypost.md.

Is Medium available on the free tier?

No. Medium requires credits and an apk_ key, available from Starter and above.

Can agents use AnyPost instead of scraping Medium?

Yes. Give OpenClaw, Codex, Cursor agents, Claude Code, or your RAG worker the anypost-md skill at /i/skill.md and an apk_ key from Login for Agents. The agent should call AnyPost for Medium URLs and read Markdown instead of scraping the original page, which avoids brittle selectors, rate limits, and login walls.
