**expandurl-mastodon** is a Mastodon bot that expands shortened URLs.
|
|
|
|
If you want the bot to expand an URL, reply to the post with the URL in it and
|
|
mention the bot account (`@expandurl@botsin.space` for example).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This bot uses the same visibility as you, but posts unlisted instead of public.
|
|
It retains the sensitive flag and spoiler warnings.
|
|
|
|
Some tracking parameters, like those beginning with
|
|
[utm_](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UTM_parameters) are stripped. It also tries
|
|
to rewrite [AMP](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accelerated_Mobile_Pages) URLs to
|
|
point at the real webpages.
|
|
|
|

|
|

# Usage
|
|
|
|
**The config file has changed from cfg to JSON in 0.4.0.**
|
|
|
|
Start expandurl-mastodon without parameters.
|
|
|
|
If no config file is found, you will be asked to provide your account address
|
|
and an acess token is generated. The config file can be found in
|
|
`${HOME}/.config/expandurl-mastodon.json` and looks like this:
|
|
|
|
{
|
|
"account": "expandurl@example.social",
|
|
"access_token": "abc123"
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
After the configuration file is generated, you can start expandurl-mastodon as
|
|
daemon.
