## Available libraries
2017-01-21 22:49:08 +01:00
There are several libraries to interact with the Mastodon API. The list of libraries can be found on the [Libraries page](Libraries.md).

## Notes
2017-01-21 22:49:08 +01:00
###### Parameter types
2017-04-03 06:03:49 +02:00
When an array parameter is mentioned, the Rails convention of specifying array parameters in query strings is meant.
For example, a ruby array like `foo = [1, 2, 3]` should be encoded in the params as `foo[]=1&foo[]=2&foo[]=3`, with empty square brackets.
2017-01-21 22:49:08 +01:00
When sending binary data, such as files, Mastodon expects clients to use the `multipart/form-data` MIME type. This applies to media attachments, account avatars and account headers.
2017-01-21 22:49:08 +01:00
###### Selecting ranges
2017-04-03 06:03:49 +02:00
For most `GET` operations that return arrays, the query parameters `max_id` and `since_id` can be used to specify the range of IDs to return.
API methods that return collections of items can return a `Link` header containing URLs for the `next` and `prev` pages.
See the [Link header RFC](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5988) for more information.
###### Errors
2017-04-03 06:03:49 +02:00
If the request you make doesn't go through, Mastodon will usually respond with an [Error](#error).
