Authentication

First you will need to create an application on your Mastodon server. You can find that on your Mastodon serer.

foo@bar:~$ mastodon-to-sqlite auth
Mastodon domain: mastodon.social

Create a new application here: https://mastodon.social/settings/applications/new
Then navigate to newly created application and paste in the following:

Your access token: xxx

This will write an auth.json file to your current directory containing your access token and Mastodon domain. Use -a other-file.json to save those credentials to a different location.

That -a option is supported by all other commands.

You can verify your authentication by running mastodon-to-sqlite verify-auth.
