Overview

This node interacts with the Mastodon API to stream a user's timeline in real-time. It connects to a specified Mastodon instance and authenticates using either OAuth2 or an access token. The node continuously listens for new posts and updates on the user's timeline, making it useful for applications that require live updates from Mastodon, such as social media monitoring, content aggregation, or real-time notifications.

Use Case Examples

1. A social media dashboard that displays live updates from a user's Mastodon timeline.
2. An automation workflow that triggers actions based on new posts appearing in the user's timeline.

Properties

Output

JSON

• json - The streamed data from the user's timeline, including new posts and updates as JSON objects.

Dependencies

• Mastodon API credentials (OAuth2 or Access Token)

Troubleshooting

• Ensure the correct Mastodon instance URL is provided and accessible.
• Verify that the selected authentication type matches the provided credentials.
• If authentication fails, check that the OAuth2 or access token credentials are valid and have the necessary permissions.
• The node requires OAuth2 credentials for authentication operations; using an access token for these will cause errors.
