# Mastofeed
Embed a mastodon feed in your blog et cetera.
## Usage guide
The homepage has a tool for generating iframe code for you, with a sensible `sandbox` attribute. The feeds fit comfortably in a 400px wide area.
## API
### GET `/api/feed?url=${url}`
> example: `/api/feed/url=https%3A%2F%2Foctodon.social%2Fusers%2Ffenwick67.atom`
Returns a html page which displays a mastodon feed for an atom feed URL. Note that URLs must be URI encoded (i.e. `encodeURIComponent('https://octodon.social/users/fenwick67.atom')` ).
Mastodon Atom feed URLs follow this convention:
`https://${instance}/users/${username}.atom`
## Installation
This is a straightforward node project with zero databases or anything, you should just be able to run `npm install` and then `npm start` to get up and running. Set your `PORT` environment variable to change the port it listens on.
## Improve me
Feel free to add a chaching layer, improve the styles and add more features.
