Introduce an 'initialize()' function that does the actual init
(session, cookies, config options) and can called separately from
the constructor __init__().
This allows, for example, to adjust config access inside a Job
before most of it already happened when calling 'extractor.find()'.
Try to query the public '/api/v1/accounts/lookup' endpoint
and fall back to '/v1/accounts/search' if it returns an error.
'/api/v1/accounts/lookup' is available since Mastodon v3.4.0.
The version of an instance can be found at '/api/v1/instance'.
Example Usage:
If the url is "mastodon:https://mastodon.example.org/@VoteChess@botsin.space the "remote_instance" will be "botsin.space"
...
"directory": ["mastodon", "{remote_instance|instance}", "{account[username]!l}"]
...
Most mastodon instances allow accessing /api/v1/accounts/XXXX/statuses and api/v1/statuses/XXXX without an API access token.
This commit allows users to download at least some links from such a mastodon instance that does not already have access tokens hard-coded into the extractor.
User extractor only works on links that include the user id such as https://mastodon.tld/@id:12345. Status links work as-is.
'/?&#' -> '/?#' and '?&#' -> '?#'
According to https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3986.txt, URLs are
"organized hierarchically" by using "the slash ("/"), question
mark ("?"), and number sign ("#") characters to delimit components"
This specifically applies to all Mastodon extractors and all
extractors with a 'basecategory', i.e. 'booru', 'foolslide', etc.
Values inside those general config locations wouldn't be recognized
when a value with the same was set on the 'extractor' level.
For example 'extractor.mastodon.directory' should be used over
'extractor.directory' when both are set, but this was impossible
with the previous implementation.
(fixes#843)
- allow instances to specify their own 'category'
- improve config lookup:
- first look into extractor.<category>.*
- and afterwards look into extractor.mastodon.<instance>.*
- add a default entry for pawoo.net in a way that actually works
- add an 'instance' keyword and turn 'tags' into a usable list
