Usage

Application

package main

import (
	"context"
	"fmt"
	"log"

	"github.com/mattn/go-mastodon"
)

func main() {
	app, err := mastodon.RegisterApp(context.Background(), &mastodon.AppConfig{
		Server:     "https://mstdn.jp",
		ClientName: "client-name",
		Scopes:     "read write follow",
		Website:    "https://github.com/mattn/go-mastodon",
	})
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatal(err)
	}
	fmt.Printf("client-id    : %s\n", app.ClientID)
	fmt.Printf("client-secret: %s\n", app.ClientSecret)
}

Client

package main

import (
	"context"
	"fmt"
	"log"

	"github.com/mattn/go-mastodon"
)

func main() {
	c := mastodon.NewClient(&mastodon.Config{
		Server:       "https://mstdn.jp",
		ClientID:     "client-id",
		ClientSecret: "client-secret",
	})
	err := c.Authenticate(context.Background(), "your-email", "your-password")
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatal(err)
	}
	timeline, err := c.GetTimelineHome(context.Background(), nil)
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatal(err)
	}
	for i := len(timeline) - 1; i >= 0; i-- {
		fmt.Println(timeline[i])
	}
}

Client with Token

This option lets the user avoid storing login credentials in the application. Instead, the user's Mastodon server provides an access token which is used to authenticate. This token can be stored in the application, but should be guarded.

package main

import (
	"context"
	"fmt"
	"log"
	"net/url"

	"github.com/mattn/go-mastodon"
)

func main() {
	appConfig := &mastodon.AppConfig{
		Server:       "https://stranger.social",
		ClientName:   "client-name",
		Scopes:       "read write follow",
		Website:      "https://github.com/mattn/go-mastodon",
		RedirectURIs: "urn:ietf:wg:oauth:2.0:oob",
	}
	app, err := mastodon.RegisterApp(context.Background(), appConfig)
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatal(err)
	}

	// Have the user manually get the token and send it back to us
	u, err := url.Parse(app.AuthURI)
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatal(err)
	}
	fmt.Printf("Open your browser to \n%s\n and copy/paste the given token\n", u)
	var token string
	fmt.Print("Paste the token here:")
	fmt.Scanln(&token)
	config := &mastodon.Config{
		Server:       "https://stranger.social",
		ClientID:     app.ClientID,
		ClientSecret: app.ClientSecret,
		AccessToken:  token,
	}

	c := mastodon.NewClient(config)
	err = c.AuthenticateToken(context.Background(), token, "urn:ietf:wg:oauth:2.0:oob")
	if err != nil {
        log.Fatal((err)
	}

	acct, err := c.GetAccountCurrentUser(context.Background())
	if err != nil {
        log.Fatal((err)
	}
	fmt.Printf("Account is %v\n", acct)
}
