DEV Community (DEV.to) is a developer community platform built on the open-source Forem software. It provides a REST API for managing articles, comments, user profiles, organizations, podcast episodes, and accessing published developer content. The API supports creating and updating posts, retrieving community content by tag or author, managing reactions and reading lists, and administering organizations. Authentication uses an API key passed via the api-key header, with public read access available without authentication.
