Introducing DevPub - Open Source Dev.to CLI Tool
TL;DR: A developer shares DevPub, a CLI tool to manage Dev.to articles locally with a git-backed workflow, highlighting gaps in existing tools and unveiling powerful, under-documented Dev.to API features.
The author tried 9 CLI tools for Dev.to, all lacked full API coverage, and many are abandoned or limited. They built devpub to offer full publishing, local pull, analytics, semantic search, trend discovery, validation, rate limiting, retry logic, and ML concepts API access. They discovered undocumented endpoints like semantic search with Gemini embeddings, Concepts API with daily metrics, and the need for a specific Accept header in the V1 API. devpub aims to leverage these capabilities for a richer Dev.to CLI experience.
Question for the room: What has been your approach to discovering and leveraging undocumented API endpoints in external services for CLI tooling?
