## APIs
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Mastodon supports the server-to-server part of the ActivityPub spec.
|
||
|
|
- It implements the HTTP signatures spec for authentication of inbox deliveries.
|
||
|
|
- Mastodon also supports Linked Data Signatures for forwarded payloads.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Restrictions
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Mastodon requires all object IDs to use the HTTPS schema.
|
||
|
|
- Mastodon also requires servers to offer a WebFinger endpoint for converting username/domain pairs into actors.
|
||
|
|
- Mastodon accepts `Application`, `Group`, `Organization`, `Person`, and `Service` as valid types for actors.
|
||
|
|
- Mastodon requires activities attributed to an actor to have an ID on the same host as the actor.

## Extensions
|
||
|
|
### Featured collection
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
What is known in Mastodon as "pinned toots", or statuses that are always featured at the top of people's profiles, is implemented using an extra property `featured` on the actor object that points to a `Collection` of objects. Example:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```json
|
||
|
|
{
|
||
|
|
"@context": [
|
||
|
|
"https://www.w3.org/ns/activitystreams",
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
{
|
||
|
|
"toot": "http://joinmastodon.org/ns#",
|
||
|
|
"featured": {
|
||
|
|
"@id": "toot:featured",
|
||
|
|
"@type": "@id"
|
||
|
|
}
|
||
|
|
}
|
||
|
|
],
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
"id": "https://example.com/@alice",
|
||
|
|
"type": "Person",
|
||
|
|
"featured": "https://example.com/@alice/collections/featured"
|
||
|
|
}
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Custom emojis
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Mastodon supports arbitrary emojis, that is, small images uploaded by admins and invokable via shortcodes. For this, an `Emoji` type is used. These emojis are listed in the `tag` property just like `Mention` and `Hashtag` objects, since they are entities that affect how the text is rendered. Example:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```json
|
||
|
|
{
|
||
|
|
"@context": [
|
||
|
|
"https://www.w3.org/ns/activitystreams",
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
{
|
||
|
|
"toot": "http://joinmastodon.org/ns#",
|
||
|
|
"Emoji": "toot:Emoji"
|
||
|
|
}
|
||
|
|
],
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
"id": "https://example.com/@alice/hello-world",
|
||
|
|
"type": "Note",
|
||
|
|
"content": "Hello world :Kappa:",
|
||
|
|
"tag": [
|
||
|
|
{
|
||
|
|
"id": "https://example.com/emoji/123",
|
||
|
|
"type": "Emoji",
|
||
|
|
"name": ":Kappa:",
|
||
|
|
"icon": {
|
||
|
|
"type": "Image",
|
||
|
|
"mediaType": "image/png",
|
||
|
|
"url": "https://example.com/files/kappa.png"
|
||
|
|
}
|
||
|
|
}
|
||
|
|
]
|
||
|
|
}
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Focal points
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Mastodon supports setting a focal point on uploaded images, so that wherever that image is displayed, the focal point stays in view. This is implemented using an extra property `focalPoint` on the `Image` objects. The property is simply an array of two floating points between 0 and 1. Example:
|
||
|
|
|
