Idea: Medium shield

[adamlui]

Medium is quite popular w/ over 100 million monthly readers as of 2022, a follower shield would be very nice and useful to many probably

Looks like the Medium api is depricated, do you have an idea for how to extract this data?

There is https://mediumapi.com/ but the limit for free plan is 150 calls/mo

There is a shields.io collaborator that reached out to YouTube on multiple occasions to increase limit before, if you could build a shield using this free one, perhaps he could work his diplomatic magic to raise Medium's limit, too

Oh wait I didn't realize that was unofficial, IDK then 🙁

...because I dont think the free API owner has incentive to give away requests
