Pull articles from Dev.to (the Forem developer community) and turn them into structured data and developer leads. No login, no cookies, no API key. The scraper reads the public Dev.to API and respects its robots rules and rate limits.

What it does

Give it a tag, an author, a "top" period, or the latest feed. For every article you get the post details plus the author's public profile: name, GitHub, X/Twitter, personal website, and location. That mix works for developer marketing, DevRel research, content analysis, and building lists of developers who write about a topic.

Search modes

  • By tag: every article under a tag, for example python, webdev, rust.
  • By author: everything published by one username.
  • Top: highest-ranked articles over the last day, week, month, or year.
  • Latest: the freshest posts across Dev.to.

Input

FieldDescription

tagTag to scrape in tag mode
usernameAuthor username in author mode
topDaysRanking window in top mode (1, 7, 30, 365)
maxItemsCap on articles returned
enrichAuthorsFetch each author's profile for lead fields

Output

One row per article:

  • Article: title, url, slug, description, publishedAt, tags, positiveReactions, comments, readingTimeMinutes, coverImage, canonicalUrl, organization
  • Author lead: authorName, authorUsername, authorProfileUrl, authorGithub, authorTwitter, authorWebsite, authorLocation, authorSummary, authorJoinedAt

Export to JSON, CSV, or Excel, run on a schedule, or call it from the API.

Notes

Author profiles are cached during a run, so scraping many posts from the same person costs one profile lookup. Only public data is collected.
