| 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"
 | |
| 	}
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 
 | |
| xml:
 | |
| ```
 | |
| 	<status>
 | |
| 		<error>Specific error message</error>
 | |
| 		<request>API path requested</request>
 | |

| ## 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.
