Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://social.scrapemole.workers.dev/v1/mastodon/tag?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need real-time public posts from the Mastodon/fediverse ecosystem filtered by hashtag, without setting up OAuth or managing accounts. It is ideal for monitoring fediverse discourse, trend detection, or data collection pipelines that need pay-per-call pricing with no subscription. Prefer it over manual API wiring when you need quick, instance-aware hashtag timelines across different Mastodon servers.
Side effects
- Invalid or non-existent hashtag returns empty posts array
- Unknown or unreachable Mastodon instance causes timeout or error
- limit out of range (must be 1-40) returns validation error
- Payment failure via x402 results in no charge and no response
- Rate limits on the upstream Mastodon instance may throttle results
