When you offered me this explanation for helping to code my Mastodon bot: "In the given example code, there are two main parts: uploading a media attachment and posting a status with the media attachment. I’ll explain each part and the required inputs.
- Import the required package:
import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform";
This line imports the axios package from Pipedream’s platform, which is used to make HTTP requests.
- Define the component and its input properties:
export default defineComponent({
props: {
mediaUrl: {
type: "string",
label: "Media URL",
},
status: {
type: "string",
label: "Status",
},
},
This part defines the input properties for the component. You need to provide two inputs: mediaUrl (the URL of the image you want to upload) and status (the text content of the status you want to post).
- Upload the media attachment:
const mediaResponse = await axios($, {
method: "POST",
url: `https://${this.$auth.site_domain}/api/v1/media`,
headers: {
Authorization: `Bearer ${this.$auth.access_token}`,
},
data: {
file: this.mediaUrl,
},
});
This part uploads the media attachment (image) to your Mastodon instance. Replace this.$auth.site_domain with your Mastodon instance domain (e.g., mastodon.social). The this.$auth.access_token should be replaced with your Mastodon access token.
- Post the status with the media attachment:
const statusResponse = await axios($, {
method: "POST",
url: `https://${this.$auth.site_domain}/api/v1/statuses`,
headers: {
Authorization: `Bearer ${this.$auth.access_token}`,
},
data: {
status: this.status,
media_ids: [mediaResponse.data.id],
},
});
This part posts the status with the media attachment to your Mastodon instance. Again, replace this.$auth.site_domain with your Mastodon instance domain and this.$auth.access_token with your Mastodon access token.
- Return the response data:
return statusResponse.data;
This line returns the data from the status post response.
To use this code, you need to replace `this.$" What did you mean when you said: “To use this code, you need to replace ‘this.$’”
