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 lexically sortable strings
8
9 ## Timelines
10
11 Adding the parameter `with_muted=true` to the timeline queries will also return activities by muted (not by blocked!) users.
12
13 Adding the parameter `exclude_visibilities` to the timeline queries will exclude the statuses with the given visibilities. The parameter accepts an array of visibility types (`public`, `unlisted`, `private`, `direct`), e.g., `exclude_visibilities[]=direct&exclude_visibilities[]=private`.
14
15 Adding the parameter `reply_visibility` to the public and home timelines queries will filter replies. Possible values: without parameter (default) shows all replies, `following` - replies directed to you or users you follow, `self` - replies directed to you.
16
17 Adding the parameter `instance=lain.com` to the public timeline will show only statuses originating from `lain.com` (or any remote instance).
18
19 ## Statuses
20
21 - `visibility`: has additional possible values `list` and `local` (for local-only statuses)
22
23 Has these additional fields under the `pleroma` object:
24
25 - `local`: true if the post was made on the local instance
26 - `conversation_id`: the ID of the AP context the status is associated with (if any)
27 - `direct_conversation_id`: the ID of the Mastodon direct message conversation the status is associated with (if any)
28 - `in_reply_to_account_acct`: the `acct` property of User entity for replied user (if any)
29 - `content`: a map consisting of alternate representations of the `content` property with the key being it's mimetype. Currently the only alternate representation supported is `text/plain`
30 - `spoiler_text`: a map consisting of alternate representations of the `spoiler_text` property with the key being it's mimetype. Currently the only alternate representation supported is `text/plain`
31 - `expires_at`: a datetime (iso8601) that states when the post will expire (be deleted automatically), or empty if the post won't expire
32 - `thread_muted`: true if the thread the post belongs to is muted
33 - `emoji_reactions`: A list with emoji / reaction maps. The format is `{name: "☕", count: 1, me: true}`. Contains no information about the reacting users, for that use the `/statuses/:id/reactions` endpoint.
34 - `parent_visible`: If the parent of this post is visible to the user or not.
35
36 ## Media Attachments
37
38 Has these additional fields under the `pleroma` object:
39
40 - `mime_type`: mime type of the attachment.
41
42 ### Attachment cap
43
44 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.
45
46 ### Limitations
47
48 Pleroma does not process remote images and therefore cannot include fields such as `meta` and `blurhash`. It does not support focal points or aspect ratios. The frontend is expected to handle it.
49
50 ## Accounts
51
52 The `id` parameter can also be the `nickname` of the user. This only works in these endpoints, not the deeper nested ones for following etc.
53
54 - `/api/v1/accounts/:id`

175 - `to`: A list of nicknames (like `lain@soykaf.club` or `lain` on the local server) that will be used to determine who is going to be addressed by this post.

219
220 The parameter should have a form of `{frontend_name: {...}}`, with `frontend_name` identifying your type of client, e.g. `pleroma_fe`. It will overwrite everything under this property, but will not overwrite other frontend's settings.
221
222 This information is returned in the `/api/v1/accounts/verify_credentials` endpoint.
223
224 ## Authentication

278 - `unread_count`: contains number unread notifications
279
280 ## Streaming
281
282 There is an additional `user:pleroma_chat` stream. Incoming chat messages will make the current chat be sent to this `user` stream. The `event` of an incoming chat message is `pleroma:chat_update`. The payload is the updated chat with the incoming chat message in the `last_message` field.
283
284 For viewing remote server timelines, there are `public:remote` and `public:remote:media` streams. Each of these accept a parameter like `?instance=lain.com`.
285
286 ## User muting and thread muting
287
288 Both user muting and thread muting can be done for only a certain time by adding an `expires_in` parameter to the API calls and giving the expiration time in seconds.
289
290 ## Not implemented
291
292 Pleroma is generally compatible with the Mastodon 2.7.2 API, but some newer features and non-essential features are omitted. These features usually return an HTTP 200 status code, but with an empty response. While they may be added in the future, they are considered low priority.
