Access Forem articles, users and other resources via API. For a real-world example of Forem in action, check out DEV. All endpoints can be accessed with the 'api-key' header and a accept header, but some of them are accessible publicly without authentication. Dates and date times, unless otherwise specified, must be in the RFC 3339 format.

The Dev.to Forem API (v1) is a RESTful API that provides programmatic access to the Dev.to developer community platform, which is built on the open-source Forem framework. The API enables developers to create, read, update, and manage articles (blog posts, discussions, help threads), comments, users, organizations, tags, followers, listings, and webhooks. It uses API key authentication, requires an accept header of application/vnd.forem.api-v1+json, and returns JSON responses.

The Dev.to Webhooks API allows developers to subscribe to real-time notifications for events occurring on the Dev.to platform. By creating webhook subscriptions, applications can receive HTTP callbacks when specific events happen, such as new articles being published. This enables event-driven integrations and automation workflows that respond immediately to activity on the platform without the need to continuously poll the REST API for changes.
