About

Fetches public Mastodon profiles and their recent statuses from any instance in the fediverse — cross-instance by design: just give it user@instance handles (e.g. Gargron@mastodon.social, Mastodon@fosstodon.org) or profile URLs.

Uses each instance's official public REST API — no API key or login: /api/v1/accounts/lookup?acct=<user> for the profile and /api/v1/accounts/<id>/statuses (paginated via max_id) for posts.

Per account you get one profile item (display name, followers, following, status count, bio as plain text, verified metadata fields, avatar/header, created date, bot/locked flags) and one status item per post: plain-text content, boost (reblog) / favourite / reply counts, visibility, language, media attachments with alt text, hashtags, mentions, link card and boosted-post details. Replies and boosts can be excluded.

Input

`accounts`* array	Handles as user@instance (any instance) or profile URLs, one per line.
`statusesPerAccount` integer	How many recent statuses to collect for each account.(default: 20)
`excludeReplies` boolean	Skip statuses that are replies to other users.(default: true)
`excludeBoosts` boolean	Skip boosted (reblogged) statuses.(default: false)

{
  "accounts": [
    "Gargron@mastodon.social"
  ],
  "statusesPerAccount": 10,
  "excludeReplies": true
}
