Parse error for "toots" from non-Mastodon fediverse applications #30

Closed b2cc closed 1 year ago

b2cc commented 1 year ago

While running FediFetcher we see the following error when it tries to parse URLs which are not specific to Mastodon, e.g. PixelFed:

2023-03-29 18:58:56.773641 CEST: Error parsing toot URL https://pixelfed.de/p/kaffeeringe/545560350894759521

Running with docker image from latest tag from timestamp as logged above.

PS: I'm not sure if this tool is meant to be used for Mastodon-to-Mastodon communication specifically. If so please close this issue.

Hm. that's very interesting: According to the documentation Pixelfed is supposed to implement the Mastodon API: https://docs.pixelfed.org/technical-documentation/api/

As such we should be able to pull in context for Pixelfed posts.

However, I cannot get this to work, e.g.

curl -I https://pixelfed.de/api/v1/statuses/545560350894759521                                                                                                       
HTTP/2 302
cache-control: no-cache, private
content-type: text/html; charset=UTF-8
date: Thu, 30 Mar 2023 06:05:54 GMT
location: https://pixelfed.de/login
server: Apache/2.4.51 (Debian)

I'll have too look into this a bit more 🤔

This has been confirmed as pixelfed bug: https://mastodon.social/@dansup/110113759189806437

when that bug is resolved we’ll be able to implement this on our end as well.

@nanos : Thanks for the quick investigation!
