Versioning

We use SemVer for versioning. For the versions available, see the tags on this repository.

Usage

Registering an application

iex> app = Hunter.create_app("hunter", "urn:ietf:wg:oauth:2.0:oob", ["read", "write", "follow"], nil, [save?: true, api_base_url: "https://example.com"])
%Hunter.Application{client_id: "1234567890",
 client_secret: "1234567890",
 id: 1234}

You can also load the application's saved credentials:

iex> app = Hunter.Application.load_credentials("hunter")
%Hunter.Application{client_id: "1234567890",
 client_secret: "1234567890",
 id: 1234}

Acquire an access token

Once you have a registered app you can do the following:

iex> conn = Hunter.log_in(app, "jdoe@example.com", "your_password", "https://example.com")
%Hunter.Client{base_url: "https://example.com",
 bearer_token: "123456"}

Or, if you want to use OAuth code for authentication:

iex> conn = Hunter.log_in_oauth(app, "123456code", "https://example.com")
%Hunter.Client{base_url: "https://example.com",
 bearer_token: "123456"}

Now you can use conn in any API request.

If you don't want to register an application but you already know your instance and your bearer token you can do the following:

iex> conn = Hunter.new([base_url: "https://example.com", bearer_token: "123456"])
%Hunter.Client{base_url: "https://example.com",
 bearer_token: "123456"}

Returns Hunter.Client details.

Configuration

Hunter uses HTTPoison as HTTP client layer. HTTPoison understands a set of HTTP options which can be configured through Hunter configuration :

config :hunter, http_options: [follow_redirect: true, hackney: [{:force_redirect, true}]]

will tell HTTPoison to follow redirected (301) links when calling mastodon API.

If you want to provide another API adapter, you can change the following option:

config :hunter, hunter_api: Hunter.Api.HTTPClient

For example, to run local tests we use the following adapter:

config :hunter, hunter_api: Hunter.Api.InMemory

Finally, you can also change the default API base url (https://mastodon.social):

config :hunter, api_base_url: "https://mastodon.social"
