✍️ Dev.to Articles and Posts Scraper
🚀 Pull Dev.to articles with body, tags, reactions, reading time, author, organization, language, and 32 fields per record.
The Dev.to Articles and Posts Scraper pulls articles from the Dev.to community blog. Output includes title, slug, URL + canonical URL, description, body markdown + body HTML, reading time minutes, tag list (canonical names + slugs), publish + edit + crosspost + last-comment dates, readable publish date, language, collection ID, type, positive + public reaction counts, comments count, full author profile (name, username, Twitter, GitHub, website, profile image), organization (name, username, slug), and the flare tag.
Four modes in one Actor: latest articles, top articles (top of the week), articles by tag, and articles by user. Set fetchBody to false to skip the body and keep records lighter for high-volume runs.
| 🎯 Target Audience | 💡 Primary Use Cases |
|---|---|
| Dev-content marketers, content aggregators, ML researchers, recruiters tracking dev voices, OSS communities | Tech-content aggregation, developer-marketing analytics, ML training on dev articles, recruiter outreach, community monitoring |
