Implemented API calls
|
|
===
|
|
The friendica API aims to be compatible to the [StatusNet API](http://status.net/wiki/Twitter-compatible_API) which aims to be compatible to the [Twitter API 1.0](https://dev.twitter.com/docs/api/1).
|
|
|
|
Please refer to the linked documentation for further information.

Usage Examples
|
|
===
|
|
|
|
BASH / cURL
|
|

|
|
|
|
Betamax has documentated some example API usage from a [bash script](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bash_(Unix_shell) employing [curl](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CURL) (see [his posting](https://betamax65.de/display/betamax65/43539)).
|
|
|
|
/usr/bin/curl -u USER:PASS https://YOUR.FRIENDICA.TLD/api/statuses/update.xml -d source="some source id" -d status="the status you want to post"
|
|
|
|
Python
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
The [RSStoFriedika](https://github.com/pafcu/RSStoFriendika) code can be used as an example of how to use the API with python.
|
|
The lines for posting are located at [line 21](https://github.com/pafcu/RSStoFriendika/blob/master/RSStoFriendika.py#L21) and following.
|
|
|
|
def tweet(server, message, group_allow=None):
|
|
url = server + '/api/statuses/update'
|
|
urllib2.urlopen(url, urllib.urlencode({'status': message,'group_allow[]':group_allow}, doseq=True))
|
|
|
|
There is also a [module for python 3](https://bitbucket.org/tobiasd/python-friendica) for using the API.
