Lemmy Python API?
-
Plemmy seems to be no longer maintained. Use Pythörhead: https://github.com/db0/pythorhead
Thanks, I'll check that out! Any idea if you can send and receive private messages with it (I'm not at my computer just now 🥺)?

Yes you can.

Yes you can.
Got it up and working, but only if the receiver is on my (lemmy) server, any idea if that's a voluntary limitation?

I'm not aware of anything, maybe there's something in the Lemmy config? Is federation generally working?

I could see that as a privacy measure.
Everything on Lemmy is open anyways but maybe the maintainer didn't want to be the guy to make Lemmy data that accessible. So it's a limitation. You can only have Lemmy data if you are hosting the server and the community.

I can send messages manually (on my lemmy server to another), but the problem is I can't find "how to do it" programmatically. The examples are only for sending messages on the same server, I'm digging around in the git repo but haven't found anything that works yet.
BTW is it db0 the creator?! I should maybe head over to his server and see if he's available.

You can send messages to anyone with pythorhead, you just do it via your own lemmy server and need to provide the full username address

wrote on last edited by [email protected]Hello! Thanks for stepping by!
I only have either https://lemmy.world/u/Valmond (is that the 'full username address'?) or the (I guess lemmy.world local id) 370373, but lemmy.private_message chokes on both (lemmy here being the Lemmy object connected to my server).
I haven't found a API doc/guide, so I'm just modifying the examples.
Any info greatly appreciated!

use get_user to get the user json, then PM using the
idkey of that -
use get_user to get the user json, then PM using the
idkey of thatI'm confused, here is what I'm doing:
-
Make a Lemmy object: lemmy
-
Connect it to my server lemmy.mindoki.com (with a user, pwd)
-
lemmy.private_message('hello', *id")
Note: I have 1 user on my server, and one user on lemmy.world.
-
If I make a Lemmy object, connect it to my server (lemmy.mindoki.com), and asks for a user and use his id, it works.
-
If I make a Lemmy object, connect it to lemmy.world instead, and asks for a user there, and use his id, it doesn't work.
Which seems logic, the id is local to the instance isn't it?
For example, on my server it's 1263 for my user, on lemmy.world it's 370373, I can't just use that number without anything else to identify a user, right?
