Any instance, one token
Mastodon isn't one site — it's thousands of independent servers speaking the same API. That's great for automation: your own instance can issue you a personal access token (Preferences → Development → New application) that works with any standards-compliant tool.
SparkSocialHq connects with that token plus your instance's domain. No central gatekeeper, no app review, revocable from your instance at any time.
What the Mastodon API supports
The statuses API is one of the friendliest around — a single call publishes text, and a second endpoint handles media uploads:
- ✓ Statuses up to 500 characters (the common default — instances can raise it)
- ✓ Up to 4 images or 1 video per status
- ✓ Direct links to the published status on your instance
Respect the culture, automate the mechanics
The fediverse is allergic to spammy cross-posting, so post there like a resident: Auto-Adapt trims to 500 characters, and per-network caption overrides let you drop the marketing tone for your Mastodon audience while the same content ships everywhere else.
