This project si a simple program to check what endpoints of Fediverse websites (or ActivityPub compatible websites) answers to GET requests.
This code repository contains a project developed in Object Pascal language under Delphi. You don't know what Delphi is and where to download it ? You'll learn more on this web site.
Look at screen captures folder to see how this program works.
- The button "About" show a copyright dialog box.
- The button "Register" open the web browser and go to the shop.
- The button "Close" close the program.
- The edit field needs the URL you want to call. After filling the URL, choose if you want the result as JSON ou HTML. It changes the "Accept" header and the answer will depend on the web server you call.
- get answer for a URL as text/html (web pages and other contents)
- get answer for a URL as application/ld-json (JSON LD or JSON used by ActivityPub)
- get ActivityPub URL for a Fediverse user account from WebFinger if available on user's domain
Visit the Fediverse GET URL Tester website to download the compiled version, learn more about how it works, access videos and articles, find out about the different versions available and their features, contact user support...
Follow my development streams of software, video games, mobile applications and websites on my Twitch channel or as replays on Serial Streameur mostly in French.
To download this code repository, we recommend using "git", but you can also download a ZIP file directly from its GitHub repository.
This project uses dependencies in the form of sub-modules. They will be absent from the ZIP file. You'll have to download them by hand.
- DeveloppeurPascal/AboutDialog-Delphi-Component must be installed in the ./lib-externe/AboutDialog-Delphi-Component subfolder.
- DeveloppeurPascal/librairies must be installed in the ./lib-externe/librairies subfolder.
I use comments in XMLDOC format in Delphi to document my projects. They are recognized by Help Insight, which offers real-time input help in the code editor.
I regularly use the DocInsight tool to enter them and check their formatting.
Documentation is exported in HTML by DocInsight or PasDoc to the /docs folder of the repository. You can also access it online through the hosting offered by GitHub Pages.
Further information (tutorials, articles, videos, FAQ, talks and links) can be found on the project website or the project devlog.
If you need explanations or help in understanding or using parts of this project in yours, please contact me. I can either direct you to an online resource, or offer you assistance in the form of a paid or free service, depending on the case. You can also contact me at a conference or during an online presentation.
As an Embarcadero MVP, I benefit from the latest versions of Delphi and C++ Builder in RAD Studio as soon as they are released. I therefore work with these versions.
Normally, my libraries and components should also run on at least the current version of Delphi Community Edition.
There's no guarantee of compatibility with earlier versions, even though I try to keep my code clean and avoid using too many of the new ways of writing in it (type inference, inline var and multiline strings).
If you detect any anomalies on earlier versions, please don't hesitate to report them so that I can test and try to correct or provide a workaround.
