Medium 用户 ${user} 的 Cookie 无效或已过期

Error message

Medium 用户 ${user} 的 Cookie 无效或已过期

What it means

ConfigNotFoundError thrown by the Medium 'tag' route when getWebInlineTopicFeedQuery returns falsy despite a cookie being present. The cookie is configured but Medium's tag API rejected it as invalid/expired — same pattern as 364/366.

Thrown at lib/routes/medium/tag.ts:50

Personalized recommendations require the cookie value after logging in, so only self-hosting is supported. See the configuration module on the deployment page for details.

Solutions

1. Re-login on medium.com and copy a fresh Cookie header into MEDIUM_COOKIES.
2. Ensure sid and cf_obc cookies are included.
3. Restart RSSHub after updating config.
4. If it fails immediately again, the cookie capture was incomplete — use browser DevTools Network > Request Headers > Cookie.

Example fix

// before
MEDIUM_COOKIES=johndoe=expired_sid

// after
MEDIUM_COOKIES=johndoe=sid%3A1%3A...fresh...

try {
    const posts = await getWebInlineTopicFeedQuery(user, tag, cookie);
    if (!posts) throw new ConfigNotFoundError('Medium cookie expired');
} catch (e) { throw e; }

When it happens

Trigger: config.medium.cookies[user] is defined, but getWebInlineTopicFeedQuery(user, tag, cookie) resolves to a falsy value. Medium's GraphQL endpoint silently signals auth failure.

Common situations: Expired session cookie; partial cookie missing sid; Medium auth flow change; account logged out remotely.
