# Medium credentials

You can use these credentials to authenticate the following nodes:

* [Medium](/integrations/builtin/app-nodes/n8n-nodes-base.medium.md)

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Medium API no longer supported**

Medium has stopped supporting the Medium API. These credentials still appear within n8n, but you can't configure new integrations using them.
{% endhint %}

## Prerequisites <a href="#prerequisites" id="prerequisites"></a>

* Create an account on [Medium](https://www.medium.com/).
* For OAuth2, request access to credentials by emailing <yourfriends@medium.com>.

## Supported authentication methods <a href="#supported-authentication-methods" id="supported-authentication-methods"></a>

* API access token
* OAuth2

## Related resources <a href="#related-resources" id="related-resources"></a>

Refer to [Medium's API documentation](https://github.com/Medium/medium-api-docs) for more information about the service.

## Using API access token <a href="#using-api-access-token" id="using-api-access-token"></a>

To configure this credential, you'll need:

* An API **Access Token**: Generate a token in **Settings >** [**Security and apps**](https://medium.com/me/settings/security) **> Integration tokens**. Use the integration token this generates as your n8n **Access Token**.

Refer to the Medium API [Self-issued access tokens documentation](https://github.com/Medium/medium-api-docs?tab=readme-ov-file#21-self-issued-access-tokens) for more information.

## Using OAuth2 <a href="#using-oauth2" id="using-oauth2"></a>

To configure this credential, you'll need:

* A **Client ID**
* A **Client Secret**

To generate a **Client ID** and **Client Secret**, you'll need access to the **Developers** menu. From there, create a new application to generate the Client ID and Secret.

Use these settings for your new application:

* Select **OAuth 2** as the **Authorization Protocol**
* Copy the **OAuth Callback URL** from n8n and use this as the **Callback URL** in Medium.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.n8n.io/integrations/builtin/credentials/medium.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
