Mastodon API
Mastodon API Client for node
Installing
yarn add mastodon-api-v1
OR
npm install --save mastodon-api-v1
Usage:
Authorization
For getting an access token, please take a look into examples/authorization.js.
For more information, please take a look on the wiki here and here.
The authorization process works as follows:
- Hit the
/apps
endpoint to create an OAuth application - With the received
client_id
andclient_secret
get an authorization URL - Get an access token by hitting the
/oauth/token
endpoint with the authorization code you got from the authorization page
Mastodon.createOAuthApp(url, clientName, scopes, redirectUri)
Makes a call to the /app
endpoint to create an OAuth app.
Returns the apps id
, client_id
and client_secret
.
These values should be stored and used from now on. Ideally only call this once!
url
Optional. The base url of the Mastodon instance. Defaults to https://mastodon.social/api/v1/apps
clientName
Optional. Defaults to mastodon-node
scopes
Optional. Defines the scopes of your OAuth app whitespace seperated. Defaults to read write follow
.
redirectUri
Optional. Defaults to urn:ietf:wg:oauth:2.0:oob
. This will be used in a future call to Mastodon.getAuthorizationUrl(...)
, only the URL defined here can be used later to redirect the user. The default means no redirect (the code will be shown to the user).
Mastodon.getAuthorizationUrl(clientId, clientSecret, baseUrl, scope, redirectUri)
Returns an authorization url for users to authorize your application.
clientId
and clientSecret
can be obtained by calling Mastodon.createOAuthApp(...)
before.
clientId
Your client_id
.
clientSecret
Your client_secret
.
baseUrl
Optional. Defaults to https://mastodon.social
.
scope
Optional. Defines the scopes of your OAuth app whitespace seperated. Defaults to read write follow
.
redirectUri
Optional. Defaults to urn:ietf:wg:oauth:2.0:oob
. If you specify your own URL, it will be called with a query parameter code
.
Mastodon.getAccessToken(clientId, clientSecret, authorizationCode, baseUrl, redirectUri)
After authorizing your OAuth application via the authorization URL from Mastodon.getAuthorizationUrl(...)
you'll get the authorization code on the website, which lets us obtain the access token we actually need.
clientId
Your client_id
.
clientSecret
Your client_secret
.
authorizationCode
The authorization code you should have got from the authorization page.
baseUrl
Optional. Defaults to https://mastodon.social

Advanced
You may specify an array of trusted certificate fingerprints if you want to only trust a specific set of certificates. When an HTTP response is received, it is verified that the certificate was signed, and the peer certificate's fingerprint must be one of the values you specified. By default, the node.js trusted "root" CAs will be used.
eg.
const M = new Mastodon({
access_token: '...',
trusted_cert_fingerprints: [
'66:EA:47:62:D9:B1:4F:1A:AE:89:5F:68:BA:6B:8E:BB:F8:1D:BF:8E',
]
})
