# Forem (DEV Community) integration

> What this integration supports through the Unified.to API, by object. Live data: `GET https://api.unified.to/unified/integration?type=forem` with your workspace API key (or Core MCP `list_unified_integrations` with `type: "forem"`). All integrations: https://docs.unified.to/integrations.md

## Overview

- **Type:** `forem`
- **Categories:** [Social Media](https://docs.unified.to/social/overview.md), [Passthrough](https://docs.unified.to/passthrough/overview.md)
- **Website:** https://www.forem.com
- **Vendor API docs:** https://developers.forem.com/api/v1
- **Launched:** 2026-11-13
- **Data regions:** DEV (dev.to), Self-hosted Forem

## How end users connect

- **API key** entered by the end user: `API Key`, `Forem instance host (self-hosted only)`
    - On DEV, go to [Settings → Extensions](https://dev.to/settings/extensions), add a description under "DEV Community API Keys" and click "Generate API Key". On another Forem community, use the same page on that community's site.
    - For DEV (dev.to), leave this blank. For another Forem community, enter its hostname only (e.g. community.example.com).

Values below come from the integration's support data. "Required list filters" must be sent on list calls; "Required on create" fields must be sent when creating. Webhook events are `native` (pushed by the vendor) or `virtual` (polled by Unified.to). Anything not listed is not supported; an unsupported method returns `501`.
