Optional fields include description, main_image, tags, series, canonical_url, and organization_id.

Connection
API and auth details
DEV Community runs on Forem and exposes API endpoints for articles, users, comments, podcasts, tags, videos, reading list items, followers, and authenticated publishing workflows. Public endpoints are CORS-enabled when they do not require authentication, while user-specific actions use Forem API keys.
