Very cool! I love the deep insights! How did you build your pipeline?

I also build a (free) analytics tool. Honestly, I am surprised how much data Medium shares via their Graphql API 🙈

Feel free to check it out: https://www.medium-insights.com/

Hi Lorenz, thanks for comments.

I built the data pipeline using Python. It pulls the data from graphQL API, creates a model and stores into a postgreSQL database. I'm using SQL queries to provide these analytical and time series views.

There is so much data available, but Medium analytics shows just bare minimum to the writers. You built a cool website to provide insights, I love it.

I have a few (free) Chrome extensions that writers can use to extract their data and save into CSV file or Excel for analyzing performance and earnings.

However, many writers have left Medium after they made changes that impacted

earnings negatively. You can find them here on Substack 🙂
