## Notes
|
|
|
|
### Parameter types
|
|
|
|
When an array parameter is mentioned, the Rails convention of specifying array parameters in query strings is meant.
|
|
For example, a ruby array like `foo = [1, 2, 3]` can be encoded in the params as `foo[]=1&foo[]=2&foo[]=3`.
|
|
Square brackets can be indexed but can also be empty.
|
|
|
|
When a file parameter is mentioned, a form-encoded upload is expected.
|
|
|
|
### Selecting ranges
|
|
|
|
For most `GET` operations that return arrays, the query parameters `max_id` and `since_id` can be used to specify the range of IDs to return.
|
|
API methods that return collections of items can return a `Link` header containing URLs for the `next` and `prev` pages.
|
|
See the [Link header RFC](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5988) for more information.
|
|
|
|
### Errors
|
|
|
|
If the request you make doesn't go through, Mastodon will usually respond with an [Error](#error).
