Mastodon per-instance API
Every Mastodon server exposes a built-in REST API, and public reads such as account lookups and public timelines generally work without a token. There is no global search: each query targets one specific instance, federation gives only partial cross-instance reach, and full-text search requires a token on most servers. Reach for it to check a particular Mastodon account or browse an instance's public posts.
API
Why it’s useful & how it works
Public reads keyless (account lookup, timelines); v2 full-text search needs a token on most instances. No global search (federation only). Direct IP errored, proxy works.
What’s inside
Per-instance; federation gives partial cross-instance reach.
