  id,
  instance = NULL,
  token = NULL,
  anonymous = FALSE,
  parse = TRUE
)

  id,
  instance = NULL,
  token = NULL,
  anonymous = FALSE,

Arguments

• id: character, local ID of a status in the database
• instance: character, the server name of the instance where the status is located. If NULL, the same instance used to obtain the token is used.
• token: user bearer token (read from file by default)
• anonymous: some API calls do not need a token. Setting anonymous to TRUE allows to make an anonymous call if possible.
• parse: logical, if TRUE, the default, returns a tibble. Use FALSE to return the "raw" list corresponding to the JSON returned from the Mastodon API.
