# Mastodon client in go

This is a very basic mastodon client for use with bots.

I needed something for my [weather station bot](https://area51.social/@me15weather)

and this library is the result.

If a feature is not listed below then please raise an issue as I will be expanding

this library as and when I need features for various projects.

## Features

* Verify AccessToken is valid

* Submit plain text post to mastodon server

* Retrieve a timeline from the server

### To be implemented

* Upload media to attaching to posts (i.e. images)

## Example

    config := mastodon.Config{

      Server: "https://example.com/",

      AccessToken: "tokenfromserver",

    }

    

    client := config.Client()

    

    // Verify AccessToken is valid

    _, err := client.VerifyCredentials()

    if err != nil {

      panic(err)

    }

    

    // Post to the server

    status := PostStatus{Text: "This post is from golang"}

    _, error := client.Post(status)

    if err != nil {

      panic(err)

    }

You can get the access token by logging into your Mastodon account, going into settings,

Development and add a new application which will give you a client key, secret and access token.

You only need the latter for this library to work.
