Adding story topics from story settings page

[aliabbasjaffri]

It would be awesome to get the story topics for a specific story as it makes it easer to see which story topics were getting the most traction during a given time. It would then help any user to focus on content around the topics which are getting the most hits.

Story topics can be fetched from : https://medium.com/p/<POST_ID>/settings

I would be glad to contribute towards this issue. Would really appreciate if you can push me in the right direction.

Completely forgot to mention: awesome job creating this utility! I was trying to reinvent the wheel at my end, untill i stumbled across this package. The recreation of cookie from uid and sid is a solid effort and really applause deserving!

thanks for the kind words @aliabbasjaffri and sorry for the delayed response!

I did a little digging around and found the GraphQL fragment for Tag that another query on the homepage makes when fetching recommended articles.

You can edit this query to bundle the tags with each post like so:

query StatsPostChart($postId: ID!, $startAt: Long!, $endAt: Long!) {
    post(id: $postId) {
      id
      ...StatsPostChart_dailyStats
      ...StatsPostChart_dailyEarnings
      __typename
      tags { 
          ...Topic_tag
          __typename
      }
    }
  }
    
  fragment Topic_tag on Tag {
      __typename
      id
      displayTitle
      normalizedTagSlug
  }

  fragment StatsPostChart_dailyStats on Post {
    dailyStats(startAt: $startAt, endAt: $endAt) {
      periodStartedAt
      views
      internalReferrerViews
      memberTtr
      __typename
    }
    __typename
  }
    
  fragment StatsPostChart_dailyEarnings on Post {
    earnings {
      dailyEarnings(startAt: $startAt, endAt: $endAt) {
        periodEndedAt
        periodStartedAt
        amount
        __typename
      }
      lastCommittedPeriodStartedAt
      __typename
    }
    __typename
  }

There are a bunch of changes that I'd like to make to this lib in order to make it easier to contribute to, but I've been slow to finish/integrate. If you're ok to wait for that, I'd prefer to make those updates before adding anything else to this version.
