parhot hi, where are endpoints defined in the "spec"?
# parhot is there some kind of definition what to req?
# nightpool[m] parhot: what do you mean by endpoints?
# parhot nightpool[m], hmm, like, i didnt get what URI/URL (?) should i request to get the data specified
# nightpool[m] depends on what you have
# nightpool[m] actors are identified by URI
# nightpool[m] once you have an actor, you get everything else through links from that actor
# nightpool[m] or from getting it pushed into your inbox
# parhot right
# parhot nightpool[m], now, how do i know what should i request?
# parhot like, if there's some scheme for that?
# parhot that's my biggest concern tbh
# nightpool[m] I'm still a little confused. what do you mean? you http GET the actor
# nightpool[m] maybe if would help if you explained what you're trying to do?
# parhot lets say i want to create my own AP impl., how do i know what URI do i have to GET req. to retv. the actor?
# parhot i mean like, mastodon seems to have this thing under /@<user>.json
# nightpool[m] you have to know what actor you're looking for
# nightpool[m] i.e., someone pastes a URL into your application or clicks a link on a website or something
# parhot isnt actor identified by username@hostname ?
# nightpool[m] Mastodon has webfinger to go from (username, domain) -> URL but that's not part of the AP spec
# nightpool[m] it's an extension we have for compatibility with OStatus and making things a little bit more human readable, but it has trade offs
# parhot oh
# parhot this's a bit more complicated than i thought then .w.
# parhot thanks
