Minimal-ActivityPub is a minimal Python implementation of the ActivityPub rest API used by Mastodon, Pleroma, and others. This implementation makes use of asyncio where appropriate. It is intended to be used as a library by other applications. No standalone functionality is provided.
Minimal refers to the fact that only API calls I need for my other projects; MastodonAmnesia and TootBot are implemented.
DO NOT expect a full or complete implementation of all ActivityPub API functionality.
API Methods Implemented currently
Client to Server Methods
get_auth_token
verify_credentials
determine_instance_type
get_account_statuses
delete_status
Server to Server Methods
No API methods for server to server communications have been implemented.
Usage
Minimal-ActivityPub is available on PyPi as minimal-activitypub and can be added to an application the same as any other python library.
Add minimal-activitypub as a requirement to your project and/or install using pip:
pip install minimal-activitypub
Workflow overview
In general you need the authenticate to an ActivityPub server instance. To do so you require an access_token, so generally you’ll want to use the method get_auth_token when setting up the initial connection.
After that I think it is a good idea to verify the credentials using the verify_credentials method and determine the server type using the determine_instance_type method.
After that you use which ever method(s) that are needed for your use case.
