FAQ

Questions Dev.to (Forem) owners ask.

01
Can this server post comments on Dev.to?
No. The Forem API intentionally does not expose a comment creation endpoint as an anti-spam measure. This server provides full comment reading and analysis capabilities, but comment creation must be done manually through the Dev.to interface.
02
What makes the intelligence capabilities different from just reading the API?
Each intelligence capability orchestrates 20-40 API calls and applies proprietary algorithms. For example, audience_crossover fetches top articles in a tag, extracts all commenters, then fetches each commenter's articles to map which other tags they write about. revealing hidden community overlaps that no single API call can surface.
03
Do I need an API key for all capabilities?
Public read capabilities (search, get articles, get tags, get user) work without authentication. Authenticated capabilities (my articles, my drafts, publish, update, toggle reaction, followed tags, reading list, followers) require a Dev.to API key. Intelligence capabilities work without authentication but deliver richer results with one.
