`Mastodon`_ is an ActivityPub and OStatus based twitter-like federated social
|
|
network node. It has an API that allows you to interact with its
|
|
every aspect. This is a simple python wrapper for that api, provided
|
|
as a single python module. By default, it talks to the
|
|
`Mastodon flagship instance`_, but it can be set to talk to any
|
|
node running Mastodon by setting `api_base_url` when creating the
|
|
api object (or creating an app).
|
|
|
|
Mastodon.py aims to implement the complete public Mastodon API. As
|
|
of this time, it is feature complete for Mastodon version 2.2.0.
|
|
|
|
A note about rate limits
|
|
------------------------
|
|
Mastodons API rate limits per user account. By default, the limit is 300 requests
|
|
per 5 minute time slot. This can differ from instance to instance and is subject to change.
|
|
Mastodon.py has three modes for dealing with rate limiting that you can pass to
|
|
the constructor, "throw", "wait" and "pace", "wait" being the default.
|
|
|
|
In "throw" mode, Mastodon.py makes no attempt to stick to rate limits. When
|
|
a request hits the rate limit, it simply throws a `MastodonRateLimitError`. This is
|
|
for applications that need to handle all rate limiting themselves (i.e. interactive apps),
|
|
or applications wanting to use Mastodon.py in a multi-threaded context ("wait" and "pace"
|
|
modes are not thread safe).
|
|
|
|
In "wait" mode, once a request hits the rate limit, Mastodon.py will wait until
|
|
the rate limit resets and then try again, until the request succeeds or an error
|
|
is encountered. This mode is for applications that would rather just not worry about rate limits
|
|
much, don't poll the api all that often, and are okay with a call sometimes just taking
|
|
a while.
|
|
|
|
In "pace" mode, Mastodon.py will delay each new request after the first one such that,
|
|
if requests were to continue at the same rate, only a certain fraction (set in the
|
|
constructor as `ratelimit_pacefactor`) of the rate limit will be used up. The fraction can
|
|
be (and by default, is) greater than one. If the rate limit is hit, "pace" behaves like
|
|
"wait". This mode is probably the most advanced one and allows you to just poll in
|
|
a loop without ever sleeping at all yourself. It is for applications that would rather
|
|
just pretend there is no such thing as a rate limit and are fine with sometimes not
|
|
being very interactive.
|
|
|
|
In addition to the per-user limit, there is a per-IP limit of 7500 requests per 5
|
|
minute time slot, and tighter limits on logins. Mastodon.py does not make any effort
|
|
to respect these.
|
|
|
|
If your application requires many hits to endpoints that are available without logging
|
|
in, do consider using Mastodon.py without authenticating to get the full per-IP limit. In
|
|
this case, you can set the Mastodon objects `ratelimit_limit` and `ratelimit_remaining`
|
|
properties appropriately if you want to use advanced rate limit handling.
|
|
|
|
A note about pagination
|
|
-----------------------
|
|
Many of Mastodons API endpoints are paginated. What this means is that if you request
|
|
data from them, you might not get all the data at once - instead, you might only get the
|
|
first few results.
|
|
|
|
All endpoints that are paginated have three parameters: since_id, max_id and limit.
|
|
since_id allows you to specify the smallest id you want in the returned data. max_id,
|
|
similarly, allows you to specify the largest. By specifying either one (generally,
|
|
only one, not both) of them you can go through pages forwards and backwards.
|
|
|
|
limit allows you to specify how many results you would like returned. Note that an
|
|
instance may choose to return less results than you requested.
|
|
|
|
The responses returned by paginated endpoints contain a "link" header that specifies
|
|
which parameters to use to get the next and previous pages. Mastodon.py parses these
|
|
and stores them (if present) in the first (for the previous page) and last (for the
|
|
next page) item of the returned list as _pagination_prev and _pagination_next.
|
|
|
|
There are convenience functions available for fetching the previous and next page of
|
|
a paginated request as well as for fetching all pages starting from a first page.
|
|
|
|
Two notes about IDs
|
|
-------------------
|
|
Mastodons API uses IDs in several places: User IDs, Toot IDs, ...
|
|
|
|
While debugging, it might be tempting to copy-paste in IDs from the
|
|
web interface into your code. This will not work, as the IDs on the web
|
|
interface and in the URLs are not the same as the IDs used internally
|
|
in the API, so don't do that.
|
|
|
|
ID unpacking
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
Wherever Mastodon.py expects an ID as a parameter, you can also pass a
|
|
dict that contains an id - this means that, for example, instead of writing
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: python
|
|
|
|
mastodon.status_post("@somebody wow!", in_reply_to_id = toot["id"])
|
|
|
|
you can also just write
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: python
|
|
|
|
mastodon.status_post("@somebody wow!", in_reply_to_id = toot)
|
|
|
|
and everything will work as intended.
|
|
|
|
Error handling
|
|
--------------
|
|
When Mastodon.py encounters an error, it will raise an exception, generally with
|
|
some text included to tell you what went wrong.
|
|
|
|
The base class that all mastodon exceptions inherit from is `MastodonError`.
|
|
If you are only interested in the fact an error was raised somewhere in
|
|
Mastodon.py, and not the details, this is the exception you can catch.
|
|
|
|
`MastodonIllegalArgumentError` is generally a programming problem - you asked the
|
|
API to do something obviously invalid (i.e. specify a privacy option that does
|
|
not exist).
|
|
|
|
`MastodonFileNotFoundError` and `MastodonNetworkError` are IO errors - could be you
|
|
specified a wrong URL, could be the internet is down or your hard drive is
|
|
dying. They inherit from MastodonIOError, for easy catching.
|
|
|
|
`MastodonAPIError` is an error returned from the Mastodon instance - the server
|
|
has decided it can't fullfill your request (i.e. you requested info on a user that
|
|
does not exist).
|
|
|
|
`MastodonRatelimitError` is raised when you hit an API rate limit. You should try
|
|
again after a while (see the rate limiting section above).
|
|
|
|
`MastodonVersionError` is raised when a version check for an API call fails.
|
|
|
|
Return values
|
|
-------------
|
|
Unless otherwise specified, all data is returned as python dictionaries, matching
|
|
the JSON format used by the API. Dates returned by the API are in ISO 8601 format
|
|
and are parsed into python datetime objects.
|
|
|
|
To make access easier, the dictionaries returned are wrapped by a class that adds
|
|
read-only attributes for all dict values - this means that, for example, instead of
|
|
writing
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: python
|
|
|
|
description = mastodon.account_verify_credentials()["source"]["note"]
|
|
|
|
you can also just write
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: python
|
|
|
|
description = mastodon.account_verify_credentials().source.note
|
|
|
|
and everything will work as intended.

App registration and user authentication
|
|
----------------------------------------
|
|
Before you can use the mastodon API, you have to register your
|
|
application (which gets you a client key and client secret)
|
|
and then log in (which gets you an access token). These functions
|
|
allow you to do those things.
|
|
For convenience, once you have a client id, secret and access token,
|
|
you can simply pass them to the constructor of the class, too!
|
|
|
|
Note that while it is perfectly reasonable to log back in whenever
|
|
your app starts, registering a new application on every
|
|
startup is not, so don't do that - instead, register an application
|
|
once, and then persist your client id and secret. A convenient method
|
|
for this is provided by the functions dealing with registering the app,
|
|
logging in and the Mastodon classes constructor.
|
|
|
|
To talk to an instance different from the flagship instance, specify
|
|
the api_base_url (usually, just the URL of the instance, i.e.
|
|
https://mastodon.social/ for the flagship instance). If no protocol
|
|
is specified, Mastodon.py defaults to https.

Versioning
|
|
----------
|
|
Mastodon.py will check if a certain endpoint is available before doing API
|
|
calls. By default, it checks against the version of Mastodon retrieved on
|
|
init(), or the version you specified. Mastodon.py can be set (in the
|
|
constructor) to either check if an endpoint is available at all (this is the
|
|
default) or to check if the endpoint is available and behaves as in the newest
|
|
Mastodon version (with regards to parameters as well as return values).
|
|
Version checking can also be disabled altogether. If a version check fails,
|
|
Mastodon.py throws a `MastodonVersionError`.
|
|
|
|
With the following functions, you can make Mastodon.py re-check the server
|
|
version or explicitly determine if a specific minimum Version is available.

Streaming
|
|
---------
|
|
These functions allow access to the streaming API.
|
|
|
|
If `async` is False, these methods block forever (or until an error is encountered).
|
|
|
|
If `async` is True, the listener will listen on another thread and these methods
|
|
will return a handle corresponding to the open connection. If, in addition, `async_reconnect` is True,
|
|
the thread will attempt to reconnect to the streaming API if any errors are encountered, waiting
|
|
`async_reconnect_wait_sec` seconds between reconnection attempts. Note that no effort is made
|
|
to "catch up" - events created while the connection is broken will not be received. If you need to make
|
|
sure to get absolutely all notifications / deletes / toots, you will have to do that manually.
|
|
|
|
The connection may be closed at any time by calling the handles close() method. The
|
|
current status of the handler thread can be checked with the handles is_alive() function,
|
|
and the streaming status can be checked by calling is_receiving().
|
|
|
|
The streaming functions take instances of `StreamListener` as the `listener` parameter.
|
|
A `CallbackStreamListener` class that allows you to specify function callbacks
|
|
directly is included for convenience.
|
|
|
|
When in not-async mode or async mode without async_reconnect, the stream functions may raise
|
|
various exceptions: `MastodonMalformedEventError` if a received event cannot be parsed and
|
|
`MastodonNetworkError` if any connection problems occur.
