# mastodon.api.prototype

A mastodon api prototyping area, a Flask interface exploration to test toots in other environments. 


**This prototype depends on ...**

* Mastodon.py (```$ pip3 install Mastodon.py```)
* Flask (```$ pip3 install flask```)
 
 
**At the first time the script is running**

(and the mastodon api is used ...)

Change the ```name``` and ```instance``` in the file ```api_register_app.py```.

And run: ```$ python3 api_register_app.py```


**To run it and see the interface**

Change the ```api_base_url``` in ```interface.py``` to the instance that you want to use.

And then ... ```$ python3 interface.py```

Browse to localhost:5000 :)


**More ...**

There are a couple of API tests in the ```mastodon_api_tests.py``` file.


**Preview**
