# Tusk-Mastodon
[Mastodon](https://github.com/skullzarmy/Tusk) API Client for node - forked from [node-mastodon](https://github.com/hylyh/node-mastodon) [abandoned]
[Source on GitHub](https://github.com/skullzarmy/Tusk) | [Documentation](https://skullzarmy.github.io/Tusk/)
### Notes
- I forked this project and fixed the obvious issues / updated the packages, and replaced `request` with `axios`.
- I added tests using [Bun.sh](https://bun.sh/) runtime and test environment.
- Introduced individual HTTP methods (get, post, put, etc.) alongside the generic request method.
If you find any bugs please open an issue and I will handle it as soon as I can. Thanks!

# Installing
```
npm install tusk-mastodon
```
## Usage:
```javascript
var Tusk = require("tusk-mastodon");
var T = new Tusk({
access_token: "...",
timeout_ms: 60 * 1000, // optional HTTP request timeout to apply to all requests.
api_url: "https://mastodon.social/api/v1/", // optional, defaults to https://mastodon.social/api/v1/
});
```
# Tusk API:
## `var T = new Tusk(config)`
Create a `Tusk` instance that can be used to make requests to Mastodon's APIs. Only supports oauth2 access tokens (no username/password auth) for security reasons.
I advise that you use the [oauth](https://www.npmjs.com/package/oauth) package to get the user's access_token. More information about how to do that is [on the node-mastodon wiki](https://github.com/jessicahayley/node-mastodon/wiki/Getting-an-access_token-with-the-oauth-package).
You'll need to register your app on Mastodon first as well.
If authenticating with user context, `config` should be an object of the form:
```
{
access_token: '...'
}
```
## `T.get(path, [params], callback)`
GET any of the REST API endpoints.
**path**
The endpoint to hit.
**params**
(Optional) parameters for the request.
**callback**
`function (err, data, response)`
- `data` is the parsed data received from Mastodon.
- `response` is the [http.IncomingMessage](http://nodejs.org/api/http.html#http_http_incomingmessage) received from Mastodon.
## `T.post(path, [params], callback)`
POST any of the REST API endpoints. Same usage as `T.get()`.
## `T.getAuth()`
Get the client's authentication tokens.
## `T.setAuth(tokens)`
Update the client's authentication tokens.

T.post("statuses", { status: "#selfie", media_ids: [id] });
});
