Medium's settings page only creates two strings for credentials

[higgins]

Hello and thank you for making this action!

Looking to integrate it on a project but when I create Integration tokens at https://medium.com/me/settings, I'm only returned two strings. I assume they are app_id and app_secret or app_secret and access_token.

How do I generate the third required input?

UPDATE:
It actually looks like Medium only returns one value (but they wrap the text with break-word so it looked like two). How do I generate the other 2 required inputs and which corresponds to which?

Hello! Happy to hear that

So, you actually need to generate just two things:

1. An app (app_id, app_secret) -> https://medium.com/me/applications
2. Personal access token (access_token) -> https://medium.com/me/settings

This should be listed in README.md file.

The /me/applications page 403's for me

Their support team told me:

We don't allow any new integrations with our API.

The Medium API is only available for an integration token for use with third-party writing applications, such as:

    iA Writer
    Ulysses

Kind of a bummer if it means I can't use their SDK :/

Let me check if it works without app_id and app_secret

I've raised a related issue Medium/medium-sdk-nodejs#36

Based on their response, I will amend the action to make it work without app_id, app_secret. It may take some time.

Hey @higgins, I'm planning to replace this SDK with a tiny manual implementation of required methods, will get back soon, when it's done.

Finally, it will be using just a personal access token.

@maZahaca awesome and thank you! take your time!
