Hi, sorry for opening a new topic but the other discussions are closed. I installed (after other discussion mastodon nodes Node-red-contrib-mastodon) Node-red-contrib-mastodon to receive and send a toot . I'm having trouble getting a message from @nodes@social.nodered.org. Which hashtag should I use in node configuration?
Thanks a lot
Hi
I just setup another bot two days ago so I should be able to help you 
The node itself is simple to setup
You just need to enter your applications access token and enter your API url
Once you've done that, you simply set msg.payload.text to whatever you want the bot to toot out and you should be off to the races
What problem are you having exactly?
Hi @cymplecy,thanks for the reply, I have put the accesss token and i have tested the functionality with a sendMessage node .
What should I enter in the hashtag field?
I haven't idea.
Sorry - I've just realised your trying to receive not send - not done that myself (did it with Snap! but not NR) but I'll have a play
1st thing that occurs to me is make sure your bot is following @nodes@social.nodered.org as probably no other bot on botsin.space will be following anything from social.nodred.org so no #tags will be picked up by the botsin.space instance
But I've noticed that @nodes@social.nodered.org isn't posting using #NodeRED so I think we'll need that adding onto its posts
I'll try and see if my bot can pick up #tag stuff from another account
[edit 2] When I first started playing with mastodon, I was making direct API calls and when checking out API documention - I think the v1 method had been removed and since this mastodon node is quite old things may have moved on.
Anyway I got this to return some results
based on info
[edit 3] Having found the id of @nodes@social.nodered.org - this API call seems to return the last two status updates
I'm stopping for the moment to see if any of this is of use to you
[edit 4]But I've carried on Maybe the rss feed is the way to go ?
It returns last 20 status updates
Ignoring all my rambling above - this flow will get the last 20 status from
@nodes@social.nodered.org

And for completeness sake to remove any need for node-red-contrib-mastodon, you can use this to post from your bot - just add in your own token (and change the injected msg.payload)
