About granary
Granary is an open source Python library and REST API that fetches social data and converts it between platform APIs and standard formats. Sources include Facebook, Flickr, GitHub, Instagram, Mastodon, and Twitter APIs, Facebook and Instagram scraped HTML, Bluesky/AT Protocol, Nostr, Farcaster, ActivityStreams 1.0 and 2.0 including ActivityPub, HTML with microformats2, mf2json, Atom, RSS 2.0, JSON Feed, and plain XML. It is installable from PyPI with pip install granary, and a REST API with demo app is available at granary.io.
Most Facebook requests and all Twitter, Instagram, and Flickr requests require OAuth access tokens, which are passed through to authorize requests to the source platforms. Requests use USER_ID, GROUP_ID, and APP_ID parameters, with paging via startIndex and count, and output is JSON Activity Streams 1.0 in an OpenSocial envelope.
