			* API Documentation: https://docs.joinmastodon.org/api/ (scroll down, the different API endpoints are listed in the TOC under API Methods)

			== Code Samples ==

			Using [[Depends On::Mastodon.py]]

			=== Make Masto Token ===

			Most of the interesting parts of the API need you to log in underneath an account, and so for that you need to make an auth token:

			From your masto instance's homepage...

			* Preferences (in hamburger menu top right if page is narrow)
			* Development tab
			* New Application

			The bot needs permissions (I'm honestly not sure you need to give all of <code>read</code>, but
			Mastodon.py's <code>me()</code> method seems to need a lot of them. idk.)
			- <code>read</code>
			- <code>write:lists</code> - the bot only streams your posts by making a list with just you on it
			- <code>write:statuses</code> - to xpost, dummy!

			Then copy the resulting access token for use in configuration...

			<syntaxhighlight lang="python">
			from mastodon import Mastodon

			client = Mastodon(
			access_token=MASTO_TOKEN,
			api_base_url=MASTO_URL
			)
			</syntaxhighlight>

			'''''hacker voice:''''' ''I'm in''

			=== Post! ===

			Posting v easy.

			<syntaxhighlight lang="python">
			post = client.status_post("my post")
			</syntaxhighlight>

			And then to thread:

			<syntaxhighlight lang="python">
			second_post = client.status_post(
			"second post",
			in_reply_to_id=post
			)
			</syntaxhighlight>

			=== Listen to a list of users ===

			You can also listen to all the accounts that your profile follows, but usually on public instances you want to be respectful and have some sort of opt-in mechanism, and usually that means making a list of accounts that follow you.

			Assuming you've already made a list named "my_list"... (see https://git.jon-e.net/jonny/masto-gitsocial-bridge/src/commit/6c65eaa30180dfa1a5995cead10d8ce3f9b2af49/masto_git_bridge/bot.py#L91-L95 for an example of making a list, in this case just with the ID of the bot on it, but you can also list accounts following the bot using [https://mastodonpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/#mastodon.Mastodon.account_followers account_followers()])

			Subclass the StreamListener and override its <code>on_update</code> method to handle new statuses. Then initialize it using the client we logged in with above

			<syntaxhighlight lang="python">
			from mastodon import StreamListener

			class Listener(StreamListener):
			def on_update(self, status:dict):
			# do something....
			pass

			# get our list
			my_list = [l for l in client.lists() if l.get('title', '') == 'my_list'][0]

			# start streaming our list, responding using on_update when there's a post
			listener = Listener()
			client.stream_list(
			my_list['id'],
			listener = listener
			)
			</syntaxhighlight>
