API

Client

These are the APIs we support:

• Twitter-compatible API, with some StatusNet extensions
• AtomPub for richer data

Server

Because you have access to the server, you can write server-side plugins.

• Plugins architecture

Other options

• OStatus for remote subscriptions
• Plugin:SubMirror does aggregation of PuSH-enabled activity streams

HOWTO Use the API

• So, you want to write a quick application to use our API?
• API discovery: finding out how to access a given site

Future

These are the APIs we will support:

• JavaScript API - A JavaScript wrapper for the Twitter API and a set of JavaScript widgets similar to Twitter's @Anywhere. Note: This API is experimental and not supported yet.
  • JavaScript API TODO list
• Social Widgets
  • Demo
• AtomPub

Former

And we used in the past:

• ~~Version0API -- more of a hack than an API, but a way to read and write to Laconica.~~ - this has been disabled now
