  title: diaspora* Aspects Conversations API
  version: '1'
  description: 'The diaspora* API (version 1) as published in the official diaspora* API documentation. diaspora* is a decentralized social network, so there is no single API host: every pod exposes the same API under its own domain at /api/v1. Version discovery should be performed with nodeinfo before making requests. Authentication is OpenID Connect Core 1.0 with Dynamic Client Registration, because a manual application registration on a single pod is not sufficient. Only JSON is supported. NOTE: upstream marks this API as not yet stable pending the diaspora* 0.8.0.0 release.'
