In rtoot: Collecting and Analyzing Mastodon Data

View statuses above and below this status in the thread

Description

Query the instance for information about the context of a specific status. A context contains statuses above and below a status in a thread.

Usage

get_context(id, instance = NULL, token = NULL, anonymous = FALSE, parse = TRUE)

Arguments

id	character, local ID of a status in the database
instance	character, the server name of the instance where the status is located. If NULL, the same instance used to obtain the token is used.
token	user bearer token (read from file by default)
anonymous	some API calls do not need a token. Setting anonymous to TRUE allows to make an anonymous call if possible.
parse	logical, if TRUE, the default, returns a named list of two tibbles, representing the ancestors (statuses above the status) and descendants (statuses below the status). Use FALSE to return the "raw" list corresponding to the JSON returned from the Mastodon API.

Value

context of a toot as tibble or list
