Using DEV.to with Schedulin

Schedulin publishes articles to DEV.to (the DEV Community). DEV.to doesn't use OAuth — you connect with a personal API key, and Schedulin publishes on your behalf.

Connecting DEV.to

On DEV.to, open Settings → Extensions and scroll to DEV Community API Keys.
Enter a name (e.g. Schedulin) and click Generate API Key. Copy the key.
On Schedulin's Channels page, start the DEV.to connection and paste your API key.
Save. Schedulin verifies the key against DEV.to and finishes connecting your account.

If the connection ever stops working (for example the key was revoked), generate a new key and reconnect.

What you can publish

DEV.to is a blogging platform, so each post is an article rather than a short social update.

Field	Notes
Title	Required — DEV.to articles must have a title
Body	Written in Markdown (the composer content becomes the article body)
Cover image	The first image you attach is used as the article's main image
Tags	Up to 4 tags

Composer options

DEV.to posts have a few article-specific options in the composer:

Publish immediately — when on, the article goes live right away. When off, it's saved as a draft on DEV.to for you to review and publish there.
Tags — add up to 4 topic tags.
Canonical URL — set this when you're cross-posting an article that was first published on your own site, so search engines credit the original.

Drafts don't have a public link yet. If you save as a draft, DEV.to only assigns a real, shareable URL once the article is actually published — until then the link is a temporary placeholder that won't open publicly. Publish the article (here or on DEV.to) to get its live URL.

Analytics

DEV.to's API doesn't expose post-level metrics, so engagement analytics aren't available for DEV.to articles. We still record the article and its URL.

Known limitations

Articles require a title.
Up to 4 tags per article.
No post-level analytics (DEV.to provides no metrics API for this).
Drafts have a temporary URL until they're published.
