Friendica API
|
|
===
|
|
The Friendica API aims to be compatible to the [GNU Social API](http://wiki.gnusocial.de/gnusocial:api) and the [Twitter API](https://dev.twitter.com/rest/public).
|
|
|
|
Please refer to the linked documentation for further information.
|
|
|
|
## Implemented API calls
|
|
|
|
### General
|
|
#### HTTP Method
|
|
|
|
API endpoints can restrict the method used to request them.
|
|
Using an invalid method results in HTTP error 405 "Method Not Allowed".
|
|
|
|
In this document, the required method is listed after the endpoint name. "*" means every method can be used.
|
|
|
|
#### Auth
|
|
|
|
Friendica supports basic http auth and OAuth 1 to authenticate the user to the api.
|
|
|
|
OAuth settings can be added by the user in web UI under /settings/oauth/
|
|
|
|
In this document, endpoints which requires auth are marked with "AUTH" after endpoint name
|
|
|
|
#### Unsupported parameters
|
|
* cursor: Not implemented in GNU Social
|
|
* trim_user: Not implemented in GNU Social
|
|
* contributor_details: Not implemented in GNU Social
|
|
* place_id: Not implemented in GNU Social
|
|
* display_coordinates: Not implemented in GNU Social
|
|
* include_rts: To-Do
|
|
* include_my_retweet: Retweets in Friendica are implemented in a different way
|
|
|
|
#### Different behaviour
|
|
* screen_name: The nick name in friendica is only unique in each network but not for all networks. The users are searched in the following priority: Friendica, StatusNet/GNU Social, Diaspora, pump.io, Twitter. If no contact was found by this way, then the first contact is taken.
|
|
* include_entities: Default is "false". If set to "true" then the plain text is formatted so that links are having descriptions.
|
|
|
|
#### Return values
|
|
* cid: Contact id of the user (important for "contact_allow" and "contact_deny")
|
|
* network: network of the user
|
|
|
|
#### Errors
|
|
When an error occour in API call, an HTTP error code is returned, with an error message
|
|
Usually:
|
|
- 400 Bad Request: if parameter are missing or items can't be found
|
|
- 403 Forbidden: if authenticated user is missing
|
|
- 405 Method Not Allowed: if API was called with invalid method, eg. GET when API require POST
|
|
- 501 Not Implemented: if requested API doesn't exists
|
|
- 500 Internal Server Error: on other error contitions
|
|
|
|
Error body is
|
|
|
|
json:
|
|
```
|
|
{
|
|
"error": "Specific error message",
|
|
"request": "API path requested",

"code": "HTTP error code"
|
|
}

## 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.
