What this operation supports in Mastodon
Executes a direct call against any Mastodon API endpoint, for cases where no dedicated pre-built operation covers what's needed.
Implementation details
This requires specifying the endpoint path, HTTP method, and any payload the target endpoint expects, using the same authentication already configured for the connection.
Operational considerations
Because Mastodon is federated and each server runs its own instance, the exact base URL for these calls needs to match the specific server the connection is authenticated against.
Use cases
Perform bespoke actions in Mastodon through automation.
Examples include querying for data, invoking non-standard flows, or integrating with external systems via Mastodon as the gateway.
