Go version of the Mastodon API

gondole is a Go library to access the Mastondon REST API.

Work in progress, still incomplete

Like many Go-based tools, installation is very easy

go get github.com/keltia/gondole

or

git clone https://github.com/keltia/gondole
go install ./cmd/...

The library is fetched, compiled and installed in whichever directory is specified by $GOPATH. The gondole-cli binary will also be installed.

The configuration is stored in the standard place: $HOME/.config/gondole. You can find a global configuration file named config.tomland a file for each instance you have connected with, named <instance>.toml.

When you connect gondole to a given instance you have never connected before, it will register the application, get the token and save it.

Trying to define a name close to Mastodon, one could come up with godon and in French, gondole (the small boats in Venice) is easy to take.
