I'm trying to integrate Medium blogging into an app by showing some cards with posts images and links to the original Medium publication.
From Medium API docs I can see how to retrieve publications and create posts, but it doesn't mention retrieving posts. Is retrieving posts/stories for a user currently possible using the Medium's API?

The answer is yes. Medium's API is a JSON-based OAuth2 API. All requests are made to endpoints beginning: https://api.medium.com/v1 and all requests must be secure, i.e. https , not http. We can interact with the Medium Api using the programming language of our choice solely to get the data we are interested in.
Get user Id Go to browser and put GET https://api.medium.com/v1/me?accessToken={token} . You will get your userId in browser. We programmers, don't like to do things manually, especially if it has GUI interface. Or is it just me?
The API is write-only and is not intended to retrieve posts (Medium staff told me)
You can simply use the RSS feed as such:
https://medium.com/feed/@your_profile You can simply get the RSS feed via GET, then if you need it in JSON format just use a NPM module like rss-to-json and you're good to go.
