# carpe-medium
fetch Medium posts and push them to Ghost
> **Note:** This app is still work in progress!
# installation
To install, run the following commands:
cd carpe-medium
yarn install
yarn link
The `carpe-medium` command should now be available in your path. If not,
check permissions or run `node ./index.js` directly.
# usage
The main point of this tool is to easily pull Medium posts and add them
to a Ghost site, so that you can (for example) cross-post your content
between Medium and Ghost.
This project is created for the [Snipette](https://www.snipettemag.com)
website, and as such might have some Snipette-specific features.
However, you're free to use it as you like, and any contributions are
welcome!
## Pull a post from Medium
# replace the URL with an actual Medium post
carpe-medium fetch https://medium.com/@username/some-post-abc123
This will create a new folder in `./content` containing:
* the post as a markdown file
* image files for each post (linked appropriately)
* [upcoming] a JSON file with post metadata
## Push a post to Ghost
# replace some-post with post directory
carpe-medium push content/some-post
Currently, this command does not do anything. We're working on it!
## Copy a Medium post directly to Ghost
# replace the URL with an actual Medium post
carpe-medium import https://medium.com/@username/some-post-abc123
This is basically the other two commands combined, so, like the `push`
command, doesn't do anything for the second part as of now.
## Import a Medium user to Ghost
# Replace username and email with appropriate values
# The username should match an existing Medium user
carpe-medium content username user@example.com
This will output a JSON object. Copy-paste that object into a new file
(eg. `ghost-import.json`), then open your Ghost Admin and import the
file via the "Labs" section. This is required becaues Ghost doesn't
let you directly add users; it only lets you import them.
# credits
* Medium import/export is inspired by and depends on a modified version
of the [mediumexporter](https://github.com/xdamman/mediumexporter)
library cum cli tool
* Image upload inspired by
[ghost-webdav-storage-adapter](https://github.com/bartt/ghost-webdav-storage-adapter),
or will be, once it's implemented
# contributing
We're developing this software internally for
[Snipette](https://www.snipettemag.com), but, if you find our tool
useful and think you can improve it, we'd be happy to have your
contributions! Just start an issue or open a pull request :)
