How to retrieve Medium reading list for a user from the API using python?

From Medium API docs I can see how to retrieve publications and create posts, but it doesn't mention retrieving reading list. Is retrieving reading list for a user currently possible using the Medium's API?

I don't think it is currently possible to retrieve reading list. According to the documentation api's it is not part of that list.

The Medium API documentation clearly states the endpoints available. Their Listing the user's publications endpoint states:

Returns a full list of publications that the user is related to in some way: This includes all publications the user is subscribed to, writes to, or edits. This endpoint offers a set of data similar to what you’ll see at https://medium.com/me/publications when logged in.

So if by "reading list" you mean the list of publications the user is subscribed to than yes, you can retrieve it via:

GET https://api.medium.com/v1/users/{{userId}}/publications
