Oh hi there @MastodonEngineering 👀 this is where we will be sharing news about code releases and updates, and related news useful for developers and instance operators #MastodonAPI
Hmm…just ran into something I wasn’t expecting with this project. I can pull back my OWN pins/endorsements from the #MastodonAPI, but I don’t see a way to pull back the endorsements of another account? That seems odd. Maybe that endpoint was removed while this feature isn’t accessible. Limits some things I was going to test out. Don’t see it being returned on /accounts endpoints either.
Just finished a batch update to the third-party apps page on the #Mastodon website with ~9 additions, and also clarified the contribution guidelines in the associated GitHub repo.
Thank you to everyone building with the #MastodonAPI to create cool experiences for users on the platform! 💞
I know folks have been waiting on a backlog of PRs for additions to the joinmastodon.org/apps site - I am working through them today (and possibly a bit tomorrow, if I run out of time this afternoon) #MastodonAPI 🙏🏻
#TIL how to paginate through my followed accounts lists using the #MastodonAPI. It takes awhile, and I only have 435 people I follow. Surely there is a more efficient way when I only need the user account names.
Guess I'm going to have to sneak a peak at Phanpy and Semaphore's codebases to see how they are handling this. But not tonight. 💤
i've been here only 7 days and already have clocked in 1.1k posts ... because i boost/retweet a fuckton.
so...
🗣️ 📣 BOOSTS ARE NOT POSTS
they should be accounted separately
boosting is a valid metric by itself; why fudge the numbers? especially since the boost doesn't become part of my actual archives. it's only a link to someone elses; who could at any time delete it and make my boost disappear.
Are there any apps that use the #MastodonAPI that let you look at a list of your follows and add them to specific #lists as you go down the line, without opening each profile one at a time?
I'm trying to set up lists on my #GoToSocial instance now that it supports them, but I'm already following enough people over there that it's going to be a pain to either open all the profiles one by one or keep another window open so I can search for them one by one.
I'm playing with Mastodon's Context API to fetch replies to posts I'm viewing, and while it's too early for me to add this to https://github.com/stefanbohacek/mastodon-tools, the experience is so much better.
I'm trying to work out how to format my @YiboSemiDaily posts in the new image-posting bot so that I can put line breaks in the post text.
The way it used to work in Cheap Bots Toot Sweet (putting \n in the post text) doesn't work in the new solution. Neither does simply putting a line break in the data cell for the post.
I suspect that there must be a way to encode it in the post so that the #MastodonAPI understands it, but I can't decipher the API spec.
In case you’re not aware - I’m working with the Mastodon team on #DevRel and community 🚀
If you’re building a client on the #MastodonAPI I would love to get connected and help you stay up-to-date. Drop me a line andy@joinmastodon.org and let me know what you’re working on! 🙏🏻
(pls boost for reach / tell the devs of your fave apps)
I've performed a thorough (I think!) review of #MastodonAPI implementations in as many different coding languages as I could find, applied some human curation related to relative devt activity, and have a PR in review to bring the joinmastodon page up-to-date. Lots of additions since the last update in December https://github.com/mastodon/documentation/pull/1232
For #FediFetcher I'd like to use the ActivityPub API, rather than the Mastodon API to pull replies.
For example: At the moment I'm using the api/v1/timelines/home endpoint to get all statuses in my timeline. I then attempt to get replies from the remote servers.
But the uri that mastodon returns in that response is to the Mastodon API endpoint. This is annoying, because obviously Mastodon != Fediverse, and I'd love to just go to ActivityPub, rather than implement each software separately.
Is it possible to somehow get ActivityPub endpoints for those statuses?
