Support / questions about Lemmy.
For subscribed communities you have to add an auth parameter (that you can obtain by POST'ing {"username_or_email": "your_name", "password": "your_password"} to /user/login, then extracting the jwt from the response) and type_=Subscribed.
A complete request would look like that:
curl "https://mander.xyz/api/v3/community/list?auth=verylongstring&type_=Subscribed" | jq
EDIT: added missing quotes for JSON keys, thanks to @NeonWoofGenesis@lemmy.henlo.fi
Rofl I don't know why someone downvoted you, this was nice information thanks.
I like to add that the keys must be wrapped in double quotes to be parsed as proper JSON.
curl -v --data '{"username_or_email": "username", "password": "password"}' --header 'Content-Type: application/json' https://example.com/api/v3/user/login
You are totally right, seems like I forgot them ^^'
While this is the correct syntax, in reality the API is broken and isn't returning communities (either filtered or sorted first) by their listingtype == "Subscribed"
This works! Thanks.
If you're up for it, one last question: just running curl "https://mander.xyz/api/v3/community/list?auth=longstring&type_=Subscribed gives me only a few subscribed communities.
I can increase the number of subscribed communities that I get back, by adding &limit=.
curl "https://mander.xyz/api/v3/community/list?auth=longstring&type_=Subscribed&limit=50"
However, putting the limit too low I don't get all my subscribed communities, while putting the limit too high results in an error.
Is there a way to set limit to "max" or the limit to "nil" or something like that?
Wait, I see, the fetch limit is 50...
Any ideas how I could easily get all communities I subscribed to?
Ok, I'll keep the monologue going: turns out I can loop through pages with that limit:
curl "https://mander.xyz/api/v3/community/list?auth=longstring&type_=Subscribed&limit=50&page=1
And then
curl "https://mander.xyz/api/v3/community/list?auth=longstring&type_=Subscribed&limit=50&page=2
Etc.
