Overview

This node interacts with the Mastodon API to manage follow requests, specifically allowing users to reject follow requests on a Mastodon instance. It is useful for Mastodon administrators or users who want to control their followers by rejecting unwanted follow requests. For example, a user can specify the Mastodon instance URL and the account ID of the follower to reject their follow request.

Use Case Examples

1. Reject a follow request from a specific account on a given Mastodon instance by providing the instance URL and the follower's account ID.
2. Manage follow requests programmatically to automate follower moderation on Mastodon.

Properties

Output

JSON

• json - The JSON response from the Mastodon API after rejecting the follow request, typically confirming the rejection or providing status information.

Dependencies

• Requires an OAuth2 API credential for Mastodon to authenticate API requests.

Troubleshooting

• Ensure the Mastodon URL is correct and accessible; incorrect URLs will cause connection failures.
• Verify that the OAuth2 credentials are valid and have the necessary permissions to manage follow requests.
• If the account ID is invalid or does not exist, the API will return an error; double-check the account ID before making the request.
• Common error messages include 'The operation is not implemented' if the operation or resource is incorrectly specified, and authentication errors if credentials are missing or invalid.
