# Mark articles read or unread

> Mark articles as read or unread, optionally hiding them from the list. Inputs, cURL, Python and Node.js examples and an example response.

Source: https://cotlet.dev/docs/api/feedly/mark_articles_read

Docs sections: [Get started](https://cotlet.dev/docs.md) · [REST API](https://cotlet.dev/docs/api.md) · [MCP](https://cotlet.dev/docs/mcp.md) · [SDKs & CLI](https://cotlet.dev/docs/sdks.md) · [Integrations](https://cotlet.dev/docs/integrations.md)

Mark articles as read or unread, optionally hiding them from the list.

Feedly API: https://cotlet.dev/docs/api/feedly.md

`POST https://cotlet.dev/api/v1/feedly/articles-read/mark`

Access: write.

Sets the read state of the articles you name. hide: true is Feedly's Mark as read and hide, which removes the article from the list until a reload; the default only lowers the unread count. It changes your read state only and reaches no one, even in a Team Feed. mark_articles_read runs without asking first, and state 'unread' undoes it in one call.

## Parameters

| Name | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `article_ids` | string[] | yes | Article IDs from list_articles or search_articles. |
| `state` | string | no | 'read' or 'unread'. Default: read. |
| `hide` | boolean | no | true also hides read articles from the list. Default: false. |

  -d '{"article_ids":["art_9d41e0","art_9d41e1","art_9d41e2"],"state":"read"}'
```
