For me the hardest part of making a Mastodon bot was figuring out the OAuth dance to get my access token.

Twitter offers a UI that does this for you, so I made one for Mastodon! It works on any instance, but it does require you to run a `curl` command (that it generates for you) at the very end. Hope you find it useful!

@tinysubversions Ah thank you, that answered a big question for me. https://github.com/tootsuite/documentation/blob/master/Using-the-API/API.md#apps for future reference.
