## Other Usages

### Authentication

Issue an API token and set it as an environmental variable `MEDIUM_API_TOKEN`. You should add this line in your `.Renviron`:

```

MEDIUM_API_TOKEN=''

```

### Get Current User

```r

library(mediumr)

medium_get_current_user()

#> $id

#> [1] "5303d74c64f66366f00cb9b2a94f3251bf5"

#> 

#> $username

#> [1] "majelbstoat"

#> 

#> $name

#> [1] "Jamie Talbot"

#> 

#> $url

#> [1] "https://medium.com/@majelbstoat"

#> 

#> $imageUrl

#> [1] "https://images.medium.com/0*fkfQiTzT7TlUGGyI.png"

```

### Create A Post

````r

content <- "

# test

1. test1

2. test2

```r

this <- is(test)

```

"

medium_create_post("test", content = content)

````

### Upload An Image

```r

medium_upload_image("/path/to/image.png")

```

## Limitations

* Since Medium doesn't provide update API, you cannot update existing posts via mediumr.

* Medium doesn't support tables. So, it makes little sense to use `knitr::kabble()` or `formattable::formattable()` for printing data.frames.
