A JavaScript library for interacting with Mastodon API-compatible servers, focused on support for projects extending the official Mastodon API.
`pl-api` attempts to abstract out the implementation details when supporting different backends, implementing the same features in different ways. It uses [Valibot](https://valibot.dev/) to ensure type safety and normalize API responses.
Example:
```ts
import { PlApiClient, type CreateApplicationParams } from 'pl-api';
const { ACCESS_TOKEN } = process.env;
const client = new PlApiClient('https://mastodon.example/', ACCESS_TOKEN, {
fetchInstance: true,
onInstanceFetchSuccess: () => console.log('Instance fetched'),
});
await client.statuses.createStatus({
status: 'Hello, world!',
language: 'en',
});
```
Some sort of documentation is available on https://pl.mkljczk.pl/pl-api-docs
> This project should be considered unstable before the 1.0.0 release. I will not provide any changelog or information on breaking changes until then.
## Supported projects
Currently, `pl-api` includes compatibility definitions for 12 independent Mastodon API implementations and 5 variants of them (like, forks). As the combination of software name and version is not the only way `pl-api` infers feature availability, some feature definitions will also work on other software.
For unsupported projects, it falls back to a basic feature set, though every method of PlApiClient may be used anyway.
## Projects using `pl-api`
* [`pl-fe`](https://github.com/mkljczk/pl-fe/tree/develop/packages/pl-fe) is a web client for Mastodon-compatible servers forked from Soapbox. It uses `pl-api` for API interactions.
* [`pl-hooks`](https://github.com/mkljczk/pl-fe/tree/develop/packages/pl-hooks) is a work-in-progress library utilizing `pl-api`.
