Diaspora

diaspora* is a privacy-aware, decentralized, open source social network, launched in 2010 and released under the AGPL. Rather than running on servers owned by a single company, diaspora* runs as a federated network of independently operated servers called "pods" — anyone can join an existing pod or host their own, and users own their own data. Its "aspects" model lets people organize contacts into groups and control exactly which audience sees each post, alongside hashtags, mentions, reshares, likes, polls, photos and private conversations. Pods federate with each other using the diaspora* federation protocol. Since release 0.9.0.0 the project officially supports third-party applications through a documented JSON REST API at /api/v1 on every pod, authenticated with OpenID Connect Core 1.0 including Dynamic Client Registration — a necessity in a decentralized network where an application cannot pre-register with every pod it might talk to.

Diaspora publishes 14 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Aspects API, Comments API, Contacts API, and 11 more. Tagged areas include Company, Social, Social Networking, Decentralized, and Federated.

Diaspora’s developer surface includes documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, support, engineering blog, signup flow, changelog, and 28 more developer resources.

Create-or-Update Ergonomics applies to this provider. This API accepts writes, so it carries 10 points of the composite. It is scored from the published contracts themselves: whether a caller can create-or-update in one call, whether the write accepts a key the caller already holds, and whether the response says which branch ran. Without that, every write needs a search-and-branch in front of it, and the first time that check is skipped a duplicate record is created. Scored against the observed mean rather than raw — a provider at the catalog average is unchanged by this facet, not penalised by it.

Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/diaspora: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
