for post in data["data"]["topic"]["featuredPosts"]["postPreviews"]:
    print(f"{post['post']['updatedAt']} - {post['post']['title']} - {post['post']['mediumUrl']}")

doesnt work for me, it says 400 Client Error: Bad Request for url: https://medium.com/_/graphql

That's possible. It used to work at the time the post was written though. URL may have changed
