GNU Social / statusnet compatibility?

[systeemkabouter]

Hi,

I tried running you app against my Friendica instance which should be statusnet compatible. I just learned that the GNU Social api implements statusnet amongst other things.

Are you targeting GNU Social as an API or really just the statusnet part?

Testing your app using my Friendica instance or your embedded test credentials both fail for me. On my friendica I find an URL request for /api/gnusocial/config.json HTTP/1.1 where my Friendica instance responds with a 501 not implemented.

If this is the only GNU social specific thing you are trying to do, them maybe this can be resolved. If you are targeting the GNU Social API itself and not statusnet, I may have to look elsewhere.

Hi there! For this first version I'm targeting GNU social specifically. I'm using some non-statusnet API, partly because I can get richer data and (probably) partly because I'm ignorant of the statusnet equivalents.

I'm trying to build the app so it will not be difficult to add support for different kinds of servers later. For example when you create an account you should be able to choose between, say, GNU social, Statusnet and Mastodon and get the best possible data for that service. I'm going to formalise that after I have the basic features working for GS.

So that's on the roadmap... but gosh I've not been giving this much attention the last few weeks. Check back a little later!

Hi,

Thanks for the quick response. Guess I will have to look further for now.

Cheers
