|
|
The Friendica API aims to be compatible with the [GNU Social API](http://wiki.gnusocial.de/gnusocial:api) and the [Twitter API](https://dev.twitter.com/rest/public).
|
|
|
|
Please refer to the linked documentation for further information.
|
|
|
|
## Implemented API calls
|
|
|
|
### General
|
|
|
|
#### HTTP Method
|
|
|
|
API endpoints can restrict the method used to request them.
|
|
Using an invalid method results in HTTP error 405 "Method Not Allowed".
|
|
|
|
In this document, the required method is listed after the endpoint name. "*" means every method can be used.
|
|
|
|
#### Auth
|
|
|
|
Friendica supports basic http auth and OAuth 1 to authenticate the user to the api.
|
|
|
|
OAuth settings can be added by the user in web UI under /settings/oauth/
|
|
|
|
In this document, endpoints which requires auth are marked with "AUTH" after endpoint name
|
|
|
|
#### Unsupported parameters
|
|
|
|
* cursor: Not implemented in GNU Social
|
|
* trim_user: Not implemented in GNU Social
|
|
* contributor_details: Not implemented in GNU Social
|
|
* place_id: Not implemented in GNU Social
|
|
* display_coordinates: Not implemented in GNU Social
|
|
* include_rts: To-Do
|
|
* include_my_retweet: Retweets in Friendica are implemented in a different way
|
|
|
|
#### Different behaviour
|
|
|
|
* screen_name: The nick name in friendica is only unique in each network but not for all networks. The users are searched in the following priority: Friendica, StatusNet/GNU Social, Diaspora, pump.io, Twitter. If no contact was found by this way, then the first contact is taken.
|
|
* include_entities: Default is "false". If set to "true" then the plain text is formatted so that links are having descriptions.
|
|
|
|
#### Return values
|
|
|
|
* cid: Contact id of the user (important for "contact_allow" and "contact_deny")
|
|
* network: network of the user
|
|
|
|
#### Errors
|
|
|
|
When an error occurs in API call, an HTTP error code is returned, with an error message
|
|
Usually:
|
|
|
|
* 400 Bad Request: if parameters are missing or items can't be found
|
|
* 403 Forbidden: if the authenticated user is missing
|
|
* 405 Method Not Allowed: if API was called with an invalid method, eg. GET when API require POST
|
|
* 501 Not Implemented: if the requested API doesn't exist
|
|
* 500 Internal Server Error: on other error conditions
|
|
|

### friendica/photo/create (POST; AUTH)
|
|
|
|
### friendica/photo/update (POST; AUTH)
|
|
|
|
#### Parameters
|
|
|
|
* photo_id (optional): if specified the photo with this id will be updated
|
|
* media (optional): image data as base64, only optional if photo_id is specified (new upload must have media)
|
|
* desc (optional): description for the photo, updated when photo_id is specified
|
|
* album: name of the album to be deleted (always necessary)
|
|
* album_new (optional): can be used to change the album of a single photo if photo_id is specified
|
|
* allow_cid/allow_gid/deny_cid/deny_gid (optional): on create: empty string or omitting = public photo, specify in format '```<x><y><z>```' for private photo;

|
|
Saves data for the scales 0-2 to database (see above for scale description).
|
|
Call adds non-visible entries to items table to enable authenticated contacts to comment/like the photo.
|

Client should pay attention to the fact that updated access rights are not transferred to the contacts. i.e. public photos remain publicly visible if they have been commented/liked before setting visibility back to a limited group.

Currently it is best to inform user that updating rights is not the right way to do this, and offer a solution to add photo as a new photo with the new rights instead.

The [RSStoFriendika](https://github.com/pafcu/RSStoFriendika) code can be used as an example of how to use the API with python.
|
|
The lines for posting are located at [line 21](https://github.com/pafcu/RSStoFriendika/blob/master/RSStoFriendika.py#L21) and following.
|
|
|
|
def tweet(server, message, group_allow=None):
|
|
url = server + '/api/statuses/update'
|
|
urllib2.urlopen(url, urllib.urlencode({'status': message,'group_allow[]':group_allow}, doseq=True))
|
|
|
|
There is also a [module for python 3](https://bitbucket.org/tobiasd/python-friendica) for using the API.
