# Differences in Mastodon API responses from vanilla Mastodon
A Pleroma instance can be identified by "<Mastodon version> (compatible; Pleroma <version>)" present in `version` field in response from `/api/v1/instance`
## Flake IDs
Pleroma uses 128-bit ids as opposed to Mastodon's 64 bits. However just like Mastodon's ids they are sortable strings
## Attachment cap
Some apps operate under the assumption that no more than 4 attachments can be returned or uploaded. Pleroma however does not enforce any limits on attachment count neither when returning the status object nor when posting.
## Timelines
Adding the parameter `with_muted=true` to the timeline queries will also return activities by muted (not by blocked!) users.
## Statuses
Has these additional fields under the `pleroma` object:
- `local`: true if the post was made on the local instance.
- `conversation_id`: the ID of the conversation the status is associated with (if any)
- `in_reply_to_account_acct`: the `acct` property of User entity for replied user (if any)
- `content`: a map consisting of alternate representations of the `content` property with the key being it's mimetype. Currently the only alternate representation supported is `text/plain`
- `spoiler_text`: a map consisting of alternate representations of the `spoiler_text` property with the key being it's mimetype. Currently the only alternate representation supported is `text/plain`
## Attachments
Has these additional fields under the `pleroma` object:
- `mime_type`: mime type of the attachment.
## Accounts
- `/api/v1/accounts/:id`: The `id` parameter can also be the `nickname` of the user. This only works in this endpoint, not the deeper nested ones for following etc.
Has these additional fields under the `pleroma` object:
- `tags`: Lists an array of tags for the user
- `relationship{}`: Includes fields as documented for Mastodon API https://docs.joinmastodon.org/api/entities/#relationship
- `is_moderator`: boolean, nullable, true if user is a moderator
- `is_admin`: boolean, nullable, true if user is an admin
- `confirmation_pending`: boolean, true if a new user account is waiting on email confirmation to be activated
- `hide_followers`: boolean, true when the user has follower hiding enabled
- `hide_follows`: boolean, true when the user has follow hiding enabled
### Source
Has these additional fields under the `pleroma` object:
- `show_role`: boolean, nullable, true when the user wants his role (e.g admin, moderator) to be shown
- `no_rich_text` - boolean, nullable, true when html tags are stripped from all statuses requested from the API
## Account Search
Behavior has changed:
- `/api/v1/accounts/search`: Does not require authentication
## Notifications
Has these additional fields under the `pleroma` object:
- `is_seen`: true if the notification was read by the user
## POST `/api/v1/statuses`
Additional parameters can be added to the JSON body/Form data:
- `preview`: boolean, if set to `true` the post won't be actually posted, but the status entitiy would still be rendered back. This could be useful for previewing rich text/custom emoji, for example.
- `content_type`: string, contain the MIME type of the status, it is transformed into HTML by the backend. You can get the list of the supported MIME types with the nodeinfo endpoint.
## PATCH `/api/v1/update_credentials`
Additional parameters can be added to the JSON body/Form data:
- `no_rich_text` - if true, html tags are stripped from all statuses requested from the API
- `hide_followers` - if true, user's followers will be hidden
- `hide_follows` - if true, user's follows will be hidden
- `hide_favorites` - if true, user's favorites timeline will be hidden
- `show_role` - if true, user's role (e.g admin, moderator) will be exposed to anyone in the API
- `default_scope` - the scope returned under `privacy` key in Source subentity
