PieFed API
Live community, post and user data from PieFed, an open-source threadiverse platform — a federated Reddit-style link aggregator in the fediverse — via the flagship piefed.social instance's public API. PieFed is organised into communities people subscribe to, where they post links and discussions that others up- and down-vote. List the platform's communities with their subscriber, post and comment counts. Get the feed of posts with each one's title, link, score, vote and comment counts, author and community. Read a single post in full. Read a member's profile with their post and comment counts and join date. Live, no key, nothing stored; to keep results work-safe, NSFW posts and communities are filtered out of the feeds. Distinct from Lemmy, Mbin and other aggregator APIs — this is the PieFed platform, its communities, posts and members. Perfect for social-reader, fediverse and community apps.

Mobilizon API
Live data for Mobilizon, the federated events platform — the open-source ActivityPub alternative to Meetup, Eventbrite and Facebook Events — served straight from Mobilizon's public GraphQL API, no key, nothing cached. The events endpoint searches upcoming public events by keyword and returns each event's title, start and end time, the place (or whether it is online), the organiser, the number of people going, the tags and a link. The event endpoint returns one event in full, including its description. The groups endpoint searches the organising groups and returns each group's name, handle, instance domain, summary and member count. It reads the flagship mobilizon.fr instance, which federates events from across the Mobilizon network. This is the events-and-organisers layer for any community, calendar, social or local app — what is happening, where, and who is organising it. Live from Mobilizon, nothing stored. Distinct from corporate-events and centralised-platform APIs — this is federated grassroots events. 4 endpoints.

Pixelfed API
Live data for Pixelfed, the federated photo-sharing network — the open Instagram alternative built on ActivityPub — no key, nothing cached. This reads a Pixelfed creator's public profile and photos directly. The account endpoint resolves a @username (optionally @user@instance) to its profile: display name, bio, follower and following counts, total posts, avatar and join date — Pixelfed's founder @dansup resolves to a profile with tens of thousands of followers. The posts endpoint returns a creator's most recent photo posts from their public feed, each with the image URL, the caption, the hashtags and a link to the post. The hashtags endpoint summarises what a creator posts about — their most-used hashtags and recent posting activity. Point it at anyone on pixelfed.social, or with user@instance at anyone across the Pixelfed fediverse. This is the creator-profile-and-photo layer for any social, photography, marketing or fediverse app. Live from Pixelfed, nothing stored. Distinct from fediverse-statistics and microblog APIs — this is Pixelfed creator profiles and their photos. 4 endpoints.

Fediverse Statistics API
Live Fediverse statistics as an API — a read on the size and shape of the decentralised social web. The fediverse is the network of interoperable social platforms — Mastodon, Misskey, Pixelfed, Lemmy, PeerTube and dozens more — and this returns the network-wide totals (instances, users, posts and monthly active users), the breakdown by software (how many instances and users each platform runs, with its license, website and source repository, and the hosting providers it concentrates on), and the largest servers ranked by user count, with an optional filter to a single platform. The meta-social layer: not one platform's posts, but the whole federated network as clean JSON, served live from FediDB. Distinct from the single-platform Mastodon, Misskey, Mbin and Lemmy APIs — this is the cross-fediverse statistics layer for social, research and dashboard apps.

Micro.blog Discover API
Live Micro.blog Discover timeline as an API — a window into what the Micro.blog community is sharing right now. Micro.blog is an independent, ad-free microblogging and short-form blogging platform, and its Discover feed is a human-curated stream of the best recent posts, also sliced into curated topics: books, photos, music, art, movies, podcasts, travel and writing. For each post this returns the author (name, username, profile URL and avatar), the post text and HTML, its permalink and publish time, and flags such as whether it is a conversation or a link-post. Pull the main Discover stream, a single topic, or the list of curated topics. A clean discovery layer for social readers, dashboards and content apps. Live, no key. Distinct from Mastodon, Misskey and Mbin APIs (other platforms) and from book or reading APIs — this is Micro.blog's own curated discovery feed.

Misskey API
A live window into Misskey.io — the largest instance of Misskey, a decentralised Fediverse microblogging platform distinct from Mastodon — as an API. Pull the currently trending hashtags with how many people are posting them; the featured, most-reacted notes with their author, reaction and renote counts; a user's profile (followers, notes, bio); that user's recent notes; or instance-wide stats. The Fediverse microblog's pulse delivered as clean JSON for social, trends and community-dashboard apps. Live data, no key.

Mbin API
A live window into the Mbin / kbin threadiverse — a federated, Reddit-style link-aggregator and microblog on the Fediverse — as an API. Pull the hottest link and thread entries with their magazine, score and comment count; browse the microblog post feed; search or browse magazines (communities) with their subscriber counts; or fetch a single magazine. The federated link-aggregator front page delivered as clean JSON for social, news-aggregation and community-dashboard apps. Live data, no key. Distinct from Lemmy and Mastodon — Mbin is its own software and API.

PeerTube API
Read PeerTube — the federated, open-source video network — in real time, with no key. Federated search (powered by SepiaSearch) finds videos, channels and playlists across thousands of PeerTube instances at once. Per instance you can list and sort videos, fetch any video's detail, its comment threads and subtitle/caption tracks, look up any channel or account and their videos, and read the instance config, server statistics and the video-category list. Federated handles (name@instance) resolve transparently, and you can point any per-instance call at a specific server with ?instance=<host> (default framatube.org). Every call is live (no cache) and returns the upstream PeerTube REST shape, paginated with limit + start. 14 endpoints. Built for federated video discovery, creator and channel analytics, and content aggregation. A PeerTube (federated video) data API — distinct from single-platform video APIs like YouTube or Dailymotion. No upstream key, no cache.

Lemmy API
Read Lemmy and the wider fediverse link-aggregator network (the federated Reddit alternative) in real time — across any instance, no login or key. Browse communities (with sort and listing-type filters) and any community's detail with its moderators and subscriber counts. Pull posts by community or instance-wide with Hot/Top/New/Active sorts, fetch any post and its threaded comments, and read instance-wide comment streams. Look up any user's profile with their posts and comments, run unified search over posts, comments, communities, users and URLs, resolve any federated object by its URL, list an instance's federated/allowed/blocked peers, and read the public moderation log. Pass ?instance=<host> to query any Lemmy server (default lemmy.world); every call is live (no cache) and returns the upstream Lemmy v3 shape, paginated with page + limit. Built for fediverse social listening, community and content aggregation, and moderation/analytics back-ends. A Lemmy/fediverse aggregator API — distinct from microblogging (mastodon, bluesky). No upstream key, no cache.

Mastodon API
Read Mastodon and the wider fediverse in real time — across any instance, no login or app token required. Look up any account by handle (user, @user or user@instance) and pull its posts, followers, following and featured tags. Fetch any post with its full reply thread, see who boosted or favourited it, and read a post's edit history. Run unified search over accounts, posts and hashtags; browse a hashtag timeline; and surface what's hot via trending posts, hashtags and links. Inspect any instance: its metadata (users, version, rules), federated peers, weekly activity and the public profile directory, plus poll results by id. Pass ?instance=<host> to target any Mastodon server (default mastodon.social); every call is live (no cache) and returns the upstream Mastodon REST shape unchanged. 21 endpoints — broader than the typical Mastodon wrapper. Built for fediverse social listening, account and follower analysis, content aggregation and bot back-ends. No upstream key, no cache.
