DEV (Forem) API
Read and publish DEV / Forem blog posts and comments over a clean REST API
DEV Community runs on Forem, whose public API exposes articles, users, tags, comments, and podcast episodes. Read endpoints for published articles are accessible without a key; writing or accessing your own drafts needs a free per-user API key. CORS is enabled on the no-auth endpoints.
