Hello #Fediverse! Some #MastodonHelp needed here! I'm trying to include a mastodon feed to my #Wordpress website, but I need my "user ID" (https://wordpress.org/plugins/include-mastodon-feed/#description)... Does anybody knows where to get this info on @QOTO #QOTO
Sorry to ask such a basic question... Can anybody help me, @freemo maybe?
If all else fails, you can get your current access token using the method here:
https://github.com/felx/mastodon-documentation/blob/master/Using-the-API/Testing-with-cURL.md
And then use that to populate the token field of a --header "Authorization: Bearer [token]" switch on CURL and issue that command that they recommend on the page you linked. Might work! :) I'm on the train and sadly my phone doesn't have curl.
I'm also sure there must be an easier way!
Ooh, maybe if you go to your profile in a browser, and see that the URL is, say,
https://qoto.org/web/accounts/12345678
then your id is 12345678? Not sure.
I'm so helpful! 😂
Well phht! Although that might be for some other reason. Does it do the same thing with a completely random/wrong id?
@ceoln you were right, it was the ID indeed... But the plugin doesn't work with qoto apparently https://qoto.org/@freemo/110236883563374813
@QOTO @freemo Hello @ceoln thanks for your advice! I had the same feeling that this might be the ID... but apparently not: the plugin still returns an endless "loading mastodon feed".
