dansupThe Loops Video Resource is much different than Pixelfed or Mastodon!
Loops App Devs FYI: We have an endpoint for user preferences, if `hide_for_you_feed` is true, you should hide the FYF from them as they desire.

Loops App Devs FYI: The For You feed requires you to send an "impression" request after a user views or scrolls past a video, so you need to track the duration they viewed, otherwise pagination won't work.
We require this because the duration of viewed videos helps determine future recommendations in the algorithm.

The most challenging part of this whole new joinloops.org/developers update was designing the OG image for each page, trying to surface the most relevant context in the short amount of space ๐
There are two main ways you can identify a Loops server, the easiest is by checking `/api/v1/config` - no auth required.
You can also check Nodeinfo, but that requires two requests, and in some cases, is easier for multi-client apps.
Loops doesn't use Link header pagination, I've never liked that, rather we use cursor based pagination with next and previous included directly in the response โจ
I've been working on a dedicated Developers section for https://joinloops.org that explains everything in detail, along with some example endpoints and resources to make it easier to get started building on Loops.
Shipping soon!
