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.

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.
