This code gets all peers from mastodon.social. Goal is to collect maximum number of alive fediverse's servers and then query their API to obtain their registered users (if their API provide such information). At the end it post the results to host server bot account.

Fediverse Stats

This code gets all peers from running Mastodon or Pleroma host server and then all peers from host server's peers. Goal is to collect maximum number of alive fediverse's servers and then query their API to obtain their registered users (if their API provide such information). At the end it post the results to host server bot account.

Dependencies

Python 3
Postgresql server
Mastodon or Pleroma running server.

Usage:

Within Python Virtual Environment:

Run python db-setup.py to setup and create new Postgresql database and needed tables in it.
Run python setup.py to get your bot's access token of your Mastodon or Pleroma server existing account. It will be saved to 'secrets/secrets.txt' for further use.
Run python getworld.py to get all peers from your host and the whole world of fediverse's servers (or almost the whole world).
Run python fediverse.py to query world alive servers API. It gets data from server's API according this table:

Software	API peers	API users (nodeinfo/2.0.json)	API users (nodeinfo/2.0)	API users (api/v1/instance)	API users (main/nodeinfo/2.0)	API users (api/nodeinfo/2.0.json)	API users (api/nodeinfo)	Software
Diaspora		['usage']['users']['total']						Diaspora
Friendica	api/v1/instance/peers		['usage']['users']['total']					Friendica
Ganggo			['usage']['users']['total']					Ganggo
GNU Social					['usage']['users']['total']			GNU Social
GNU Social 2.x						['usage']['users']['total']		GNU Social 2.x
Groundpolis			['usage']['users']['total']					Groundpolis
Hubzilla			['usage']['users']['total']					Hubzilla
Mastodon	api/v1/instance/peers	['usage']['users']['total'] (since v3.0.0)		['stats']['user_count']				Mastodon
Misskey			NO (['usage']['users'] returns {}) so using ['usage']['users']['activeHalfyear'] instead					Misskey
Osada			['usage']['users']['total']					Osada
Peertube		['usage']['users']['total']						Peertube
Pixelfed						['usage']['users']['total']		Pixelfed
Pleroma	api/v1/instance/peers	['usage']['users']['total']						Pleroma
Plume			['usage']['users']['total']					Plume
Prismo			['usage']['users']['total']					Prismo
Ravenvale		['usage']['users']['total']						Ravenvale
Squus			['usage']['users']['total']					Squus
Writefreely							['usage']['users']['total']	Writefreely
Zap			['usage']['users']['total']					Zap

Use your favourite scheduling method to set python fediverse.py after python getworld.py to run regularly.

Note: install all needed packages with 'pip install package' or use 'pip install -r requirements.txt' to install them.
