Solutions

1. Set MEDIUM_COOKIES (env) or config.medium.cookies with the key matching the :user segment.
2. Copy the full Cookie header from an authenticated medium.com browser session.
3. Restart RSSHub to reload config.
4. Verify the username key has no leading @ and matches exactly.

Example fix

// before
// .env has no MEDIUM_COOKIES

// after
MEDIUM_COOKIES=johndoe=uid%3A...%3Bsid%3A...

const cookie = config.medium.cookies?.[user];
if (cookie === undefined) {
    throw new ConfigNotFoundError(`Set MEDIUM_COOKIES for user ${user}`);
}

function hasMediumCookie(user: string): boolean {
    return typeof config.medium.cookies?.[user] === 'string' && config.medium.cookies[user].length > 0;
}

When it happens

Trigger: Request to /medium/for-you/:user with no entry for that user in config.medium.cookies — the cookie map lookup returns undefined.

Common situations: Self-hosted RSSHub without MEDIUM_COOKIES configured; cookie key mismatched with the URL user segment; relying on the public instance which never sets user cookies.
