Features

Scrape by tag (e.g. javascript), by username/organization, or straight from the latest feed.
Combine a tag and a username to narrow the results further.
Paginates automatically until it reaches your item limit or the end of the feed.
Emits one flat, ready-to-use JSON record per article.
Skips gracefully over malformed items — they are recorded with an error field so a single bad item never stops the run.

Input

Field	Type	Default	Description
`tag`	string	—	Optional. Only articles with this tag, e.g. `javascript`.
`username`	string	—	Optional. Only articles by this dev.to user/organization.
`maxItems`	integer	`50`	Maximum number of articles to fetch.

Example input

{
  "tag": "javascript",
  "maxItems": 10
}

Or scrape a specific author:

{
  "username": "ben",
  "maxItems": 25
}

Output

Each dataset record looks like this:

{
  "id": 123456,
  "title": "Understanding async/await in JavaScript",
  "url": "https://dev.to/someone/understanding-async-await-in-javascript",
  "description": "A friendly deep dive into promises and async functions.",
  "tags": ["javascript", "webdev", "beginners"],
  "positiveReactions": 342,
  "commentsCount": 18,
  "readingTimeMinutes": 6,
  "publishedAt": "2023-05-01T09:30:00.000Z",
  "author": "Jane Doe",
  "authorUsername": "janedoe",
  "coverImage": "https://dev.to/cover.png",
  "readablePublishDate": "May 1"
}

Field	Description
`id`	dev.to article ID.
`title`	Article title.
`url`	Canonical URL of the article on dev.to.
`description`	Short summary/excerpt.
`tags`	Array of tags (`tag_list`).
`positiveReactions`	Number of positive reactions (`positive_reactions_count`).
`commentsCount`	Number of comments (`comments_count`).
`readingTimeMinutes`	Estimated reading time in minutes.
`publishedAt`	Publish time as an ISO 8601 timestamp.
`author`	Author (or organization) display name.
`authorUsername`	Author's dev.to username.
`coverImage`	Cover image URL (null when there is none).
`readablePublishDate`	Human-friendly publish date (e.g. `May 1`).

If an item can't be processed, the row is { "id": <id>, "error": "<message>" } instead.

Pricing

This actor uses the pay-per-event model: you are charged once per article returned (the article-scraped event). Malformed items produce an error row and are never charged.

Data source

The actor talks to the official DEV Community (Forem) API:

Base URL: https://dev.to/api
Articles: /articles?per_page=100&page=N (plus &tag= and/or &username= when provided)

The API is free and requires no authentication.
