I was going to post this under @botwiki@mastodon.social, but polls on that server are limited to only 4 options (can you imagine?), so let me ask here:
Which social media APIs do you use the most nowadays?
#developers #API #fediverse #fedidevs #mastodon #mastodevs #SocialMedia #development #WebAPIs
@stefan@stefanbohacek.online i hit bluesky and masto but I’m all in on tracery even after all these years and so i don’t touch API stuff directly very much. bluesky just got its own cbdq
@nora@blob.love Care to share a link? Will be good to add that to Botwiki.
@stefan@stefanbohacek.online oh yeah! http://bluebotsdonequick.com/
@nora@blob.love Hah, love these names!
Thank you!
@stefan i am paying to mirror them from here to there but am working on switching them over :)
@stefan oh and i should note if you’re interested in the bot scene over there i’d be happy to share introductions + a lot of the most interesting bot-adjacent work is happening in labelers. someone turned the moderation labeler system into a rudimentary rpg
@nora Thank you for the offer! I definitely have to catch up with working on Botwiki and add a Bluesky section. There’s already a few Bluesky bots on there.
Not too sure what the best way to connect would be. I did actually just create an account there - I don’t actually intend to use it, but with fediverse hitting a bit of a slump, and Bluesky seemingly continuing to take off, I just wanted to park my username.
@nora@blob.love So unless some of the folks are also on here, here are other ways to get in touch with me: https://stefanbohacek.com/contact
Thank you!
@stefan@stefanbohacek.online @botwiki@mastodon.social I’m curious as to how much bias there will be in this given it’s posted in the fediverse, but then also I don’t even use a bunch of those platforms and didn’t realise some of the others actually had usable public APIs.
Anyways I’m predominantly Fedi but my bot framework can also do Tumblr because when I first created it (back when it supported Twitter) I wanted something else to prove I’d abstracted it to be enough to handle other platforms.
@snail@crmbl.uk @botwiki@mastodon.social Oh yes, definitely expecting a heavy bias on here. Maybe even more than if this poll was posted on other platforms?
I’d love to compare the results, if anyone wants to cross-post this.
Maybe just to clarify, I am asking folks who use each of the platforms’ API, not just the platform itself.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/API
If you’re not sure what an API is, then you should pick “None”.
Sorry for any confusion!
Personally, I am all in on the fediverse.
@stefan@stefanbohacek.online Oh you KNOW my answer 🤣
@researchbuzz@researchbuzz.masto.host No, please do tell :-P
