OmniVocal + dev.to

OmniVocal publishes full Markdown articles to dev.to via the Forem API. Posts are created as published immediately with optional tags and canonical URL for SEO.

What you'll need

  • API key — dev.to → Settings → Extensions → DEV API Keys → Generate API Key.

Setup guide

  1. 1

    Log in to dev.to → Settings → Extensions → DEV API Keys.

  2. 2

    Click "Generate API Key", give it a name like "OmniVocal", and copy the key.

  3. 3

    In OmniVocal Dashboard → Channels → dev.to, paste the API key.

  4. 4

    Broadcast with target channel "devto". Posts go live immediately.

Example broadcast call

Ask your AI assistant (Copilot, Claude, Cursor) to call broadcast_post — or call the REST API directly:

{
  "content": {
    "title": "How I automated my dev blog with AI",
    "body": "# The problem\n\nI was spending 2 hours per post...",
    "tags": ["productivity", "ai", "devops", "tutorial"],
    "canonical_url": "https://myblog.com/ai-blogging"
  },
  "targets": [{ "channel": "devto" }]
}

Tips & notes

  • dev.to allows maximum 4 tags per article.
  • Setting canonical_url tells dev.to to link back to your original — good for cross-posting SEO.
  • dev.to uses Markdown natively — no conversion required.
