Overview
This node interacts with the Mastodon API to perform various operations related to Mastodon accounts. Specifically, the 'Search Accounts' operation allows users to search for Mastodon accounts on a specified Mastodon instance using a query string. This is useful for finding users or accounts matching certain criteria on Mastodon, such as searching for people by name or interest. For example, a user can input a Mastodon instance URL, a search query like a username or keyword, and a limit on the number of results to retrieve accounts matching the query.
Use Case Examples
- Searching for accounts related to a specific topic or username on a Mastodon instance.
- Retrieving a list of accounts to follow or analyze from a Mastodon instance.

| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Mastodon URL | The URL of the Mastodon instance to connect to for searching accounts. |
| Query | The search query string used to find accounts on the Mastodon instance. |
| Limit | The maximum number of accounts to return from the search. |
Output
JSON
json- The JSON output contains the search results, which are the accounts matching the query on the specified Mastodon instance.

Troubleshooting
- If the Mastodon URL is incorrect or the instance is unreachable, the node will fail to connect.
