1 # Differences in Mastodon API responses from vanilla Mastodon
2
3 A Pleroma instance can be identified by "<Mastodon version> (compatible; Pleroma <version>)" present in `version` field in response from `/api/v1/instance`
4
5 ## Flake IDs
6
7 Pleroma uses 128-bit ids as opposed to Mastodon's 64 bits. However just like Mastodon's ids they are sortable strings
8
9 ## Attachment cap
10
11 Some apps operate under the assumption that no more than 4 attachments can be returned or uploaded. Pleroma however does not enforce any limits on attachment count neither when returning the status object nor when posting.
12
13 ## Timelines
14
15 Adding the parameter `with_muted=true` to the timeline queries will also return activities by muted (not by blocked!) users.
16
17 ## Statuses
18
19 Has these additional fields under the `pleroma` object:
20
21 - `local`: true if the post was made on the local instance.
22 - `conversation_id`: the ID of the conversation the status is associated with (if any)
23
24 ## Attachments
25
26 Has these additional fields under the `pleroma` object:
27
28 - `mime_type`: mime type of the attachment.
29
30 ## Accounts
31
32 - `/api/v1/accounts/:id`: The `id` parameter can also be the `nickname` of the user. This only works in this endpoint, not the deeper nested ones for following etc.
33
34 Has these additional fields under the `pleroma` object:
35
36 - `tags`: Lists an array of tags for the user
37 - `relationship{}`: Includes fields as documented for Mastodon API https://docs.joinmastodon.org/api/entities/#relationship
38 - `is_moderator`: boolean, true if user is a moderator
39 - `is_admin`: boolean, true if user is an admin
40 - `confirmation_pending`: boolean, true if a new user account is waiting on email confirmation to be activated
41
42 ## Notifications
43
44 Has these additional fields under the `pleroma` object:
45
46 - `is_seen`: true if the notification was read by the user
47
48 ## POST `/api/v1/statuses`
49
50 Additional parameters can be added to the JSON body/Form data:
51
52 - `preview`: boolean, if set to `true` the post won't be actually posted, but the status entitiy would still be rendered back. This could be useful for previewing rich text/custom emoji, for example.
