I saw a post today about another Mastodon API endpoint that is kind of in a zombie state (I looked into Featured Profiles awhile back).

This one is a “Mastodon Wrapped" end of year review.

On m.s. it's accessible but as expected doesn't return any data. Currently, the admin would have to jump to the console and run a task to populate the reports.

Like other "wrapped" end of year summaries, it's only available to the user.

Today was a great set of meetings and discussions, moving the #Fediverse forward. Nice to reconnect after too long with @chrismessina - and to meet @snarfed.org@snarfed.org @J12t @anca @frozencanuck in person, lots more connections to make tomorrow. It is an exciting time in the #ActivityPub and #MastodonAPI ecosystem!

Untappd to Mastodon - Updated!
https://shkspr.mobi/blog/2024/05/untappd-to-mastodon-updated/

A few years ago, I wrote some code to post Untappd check-ins to Mastodon. I've recently updated it to also post a photo of the beer you're enjoying.

First up, you'll need a file called config.py to hold all your API keys:

instance = "https://mastodon.social"access_token          = "…"write_access_token    = "…"untappd_client_id     = "…"untappd_client_secret = "…"

Then a file called untappd2mastodon.py to do the job of grabbing your data, finding your latest check-in, then posting it to the Fediverse:

#!/usr/bin/env python# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-from mastodon import Mastodonimport jsonimport requestsimport config#  Set up accessmastodon = Mastodon( api_base_url=config.instance, access_token=config.write_access_token )#       Untappd APIuntappd_api_url = 'https://api.untappd.com/v4/user/checkins/edent?client_id=' + config.untappd_client_id + '&client_secret='+ config.untappd_client_secretr = requests.get(untappd_api_url)untappd_data = r.json()#       Latest checkin objectcheckin = untappd_data["response"]["checkins"]["items"][0]untappd_id = checkin["checkin_id"]#       Was this ID the last one we saw?check_file = open("untappd_last", "r")last_id = int( check_file.read() )print("Found " + str(last_id) )check_file.close()if (last_id != untappd_id ) :        print("Found new checkin")        check_file = open("untappd_last", "w")        check_file.write( str(untappd_id) )        check_file.close()        #       Start creating the message        message = ""        if "checkin_comment" in checkin :                message += checkin["checkin_comment"]        if "beer" in checkin :                message += "nDrinking: " + checkin["beer"]["beer_name"]        if "brewery" in checkin :                message += "nBy: "       + checkin["brewery"]["brewery_name"]        if "venue" in checkin :                if "venue_name" in checkin["venue"] :                        message += "nAt: "       + checkin["venue"]["venue_name"]        #       Scores etc        untappd_checkin_url = "https://untappd.com/user/edent/checkin/" + str(untappd_id)        untappd_rating      = checkin["rating_score"]        untappd_score       = "🍺" * int(untappd_rating)        message += "n" +  untappd_score + "n" + untappd_checkin_url + "n" + "#untappd"        #       Get Image        if checkin["media"]["count"] > 0 :                photo_url = checkin["media"]["items"][0]["photo"]["photo_img_lg"]                download = requests.get(photo_url)                with open("untappd.tmp", 'wb') as temp_file:                        temp_file.write(download.content)                media = mastodon.media_post("untappd.tmp", description="A photo of some beer.")                mastodon.status_post(status = message, media_ids=media, idempotency_key = str(untappd_id))        else:                   #       Post to Mastodon. Use idempotency just in case something went wrong                mastodon.status_post(status = message, idempotency_key = str(untappd_id))else :        print("No new checkin")

You can treat this code as being MIT licenced if that makes you happy.

This right here is the value of having an open API (and @bardi also makes the point of thanking the folks who help to build TootSDK, as something he built Tusks on top of). What a great app - I just bought myself a license. #MastodonAPI #Fediverse

@walleri is finally on the App Store! It's been quite a journey, but I'm so glad it's now available for the whole world to try.

There's still a lot of things I want to improve, but I realized that it's never gonna be perfect and at some point I just have to release it.

Today is that day 🚀

🆕 blog! “ActivityPub Server in a Single PHP File”

Any computer program can be designed to run from a single file if you architect it wrong enough! I wanted to create the simplest possible Fediverse server which can be used as an educational tool to show how ActivityPub / Mastodon works. The design goals were: Upload a single PHP file to the server. No […]

My most popular blog post continues to be about Mastodon Preview Cards generation.

I've updated it to include a few more tidbits:

The image attached to the link must be less than 2 MB in size (the default config from Mastodon) or the image won't be used.

Once a Masotodn server has generated a link preview (image attached or not), it's cached for 14 days before it will attempt to refresh it. This one needs some testing.

Messing with the #MastodonAPI with a little ditty forked from something @axwax made… and cats.

A purple 3D-printed photo frame containing a 5.7 inch Pimoroni Inky Impression colour eInk display. The screen shows the Mastodon mascot on the left, gesturing towards a projector screen showing a thumbnail of a cat photo, with a speech bubble showing the ALT text for the cat photo. A different angle and a different cat from the previous image.

I used to like the original FourSquare. The "mayor" stuff was a bit silly, and my friends never left that many reviews, but I loved being able to signal to my friends "I am at this cool museum" or "We're at this pub if you want to meet" or "Spendi…

I'm playing around with mastodon 4.2 advanced search, digging into the code a bit. Really trying to do some trickery here but the devs have it pretty well locked down to exactly what is documented. I thought I could inject some elasticsearch precedence or other patterns but those are purely ignored (or cause issues with the search)

Honestly not sure if I'm even using the right syntax but looks close.

Is there anyone working on generalizing the Mastodon API, or documentation to follow for apps that are using it for things other then Mastodon? #fedidev #mastodev #mastodonapi #APIdev

Hey Mastodonians! I've been busy/bored so I wrote you a bash script to download all your Mastodon posts to perform funny queries and searches on them using DuckDB!

Learning that the Mastodon V2 Search API is pretty finicky. Advanced search criteria must be entered in a specific structure or the whole thing goes bonkers.

/api/v2/search?q=has:image -is:sensitive -is:reply dogs

That works, but note that the last item needs to be the search term.

EDIT: I think it's rate limiting while flipping options back and forth quickly causing the issue. Client side query caching to the rescue!

Also, some criteria work together, some don't.

It's the little things, but I updated the branding colours on the #Mastodon docs site to match the actual branding of our other pages (we want to do a much broader refresh of that section of our site, too). A huge thank you to @vmstan in particular, as well as others on our triage squad, for helping to get a backlog of doc updates moving along, too. 🫶🏻 bit by bit, we're making it better! #MastodonAPI https://docs.joinmastodon.org/
