API

Spec outline.

• Each user has an activity stream that represents their own activities.
• The streams come in two flavours: Activity Streams Atom or Activity Streams JSON.
• The streams can be discovered from an HTML profile page using <link> elements.
  • rel="alternate feed", type="application/atom+xml"
  • rel="alternate feed", type="application/stream+json"
• The streams can be discovered from a WebFinger or LRDD XRD document
  • rel=activitypub-atom (???)
  • rel=activitypub-json (???)
• You can HEAD a stream document, but it's probably not that interesting.
• If you GET a stream document, you can see the most recent activities by that account, in reverse-chronological order.
• If you GET a stream document using some kind of authentication, you might seem activities that are intended for private audiences.
• You can POST to a stream document, which will create a new activity that will show up in the stream document.
  • You should post Atom activities to Atom feeds.
  • You should post JSON activities to JSON feeds.
