What it does

Mastodon is a growing decentralized social network (the flagship of the Fediverse, 5M+ monthly active users across thousands of instances). This actor talks to any instance's public REST API — no cookies, no scraping walls, no residential proxy needed.

Data you can fetch

Mode	What it returns
Profile	Account bio, follower/following/toot counts, avatar
Posts	A user's public toots: content, timestamps, fav/reblog/reply counts
Hashtag	Public timeline of any hashtag across the instance

Example Inputs

A user's recent posts

{
  "mode": "posts",
  "handle": "Gargron",
  "instance": "mastodon.social",
  "maxResults": 20
}

A profile summary

{
  "mode": "profile",
  "handle": "Gargron",
  "instance": "fosstodon.org",
  "maxResults": 1
}

Follow a hashtag on a custom instance

{
  "mode": "hashtag",
  "tag": "ai",
  "instance": "hachyderm.io",
  "maxResults": 50
}

Output

Every row carries source_mode (profile / posts / hashtag) plus: acct, username, display_name, followers_count, following_count, statuses_count, bio (HTML-stripped), content (HTML-stripped), created_at, favourites_count, reblogs_count, replies_count, url, avatar, scraped_at.

Data Source

Mastodon API — open, federated, no authentication for public data across any instance.

Use Cases

Content research: find what's trending on any hashtag
Influencer / community identification: profiles + engagement
Fediverse monitoring: track brands, competitors, or communities
Archival / backup: pull a user's public toot history

Limitations

Only public posts and profiles are accessible (no authenticated timelines)
mastodon.social (and some other large instances) scrub toot content to empty when read from an unauthenticated datacenter IP — the actor returns the correct row structure, but content may be empty there; smaller/lenient instances return full content
Different instances may have slightly different API behaviour
