Mastodon is very flexible and useful, there are plenty of APIs available to play around with.
To make use of most of the APIs, you’ll need to generate a token and grant specific permissions to it.

Here’s how you do it:

1. Login to your Mastodon instance, ie. https://mastodon.sg

2. Go to Preference -> Development, click on New Application.

3. Enter the name of the Application and modify the scopes required.
   *It is not recommended to give read:all or write:all

4. Submit it then click on the name of the Application you’ve just created.

5. You’ll be able to copy the Access Token here.

💡 Remember to keep your Access Token safe.
Generate a new one if you think it’s been compromised or if you’ve modified the Scopes.
