This is ready for testing on crust.piefed.social. I've made two testing posts in the testing community
- https://crust.piefed.social/c/test/p/74625/test-poll
- https://crust.piefed.social/c/test/p/74626/test-event
In the API they show up as extra data on a post. For example here https://crust.piefed.social/api/alpha/post/list?community_name=test@crust.piefed.social you'll see this for event posts:
and this for poll posts:
Other types of post will not have that data present, not even as an empty object or null. Let me know if that causes you problems.
As always, the full API spec is at https://crust.piefed.social/api/alpha/swagger including how to add or edit those types of post. It's the same data structure as getting a post.

/api/alpha/post/site_metadata
It functions identically to Lemmy's endpoint of the same name although embed_video_url is never populated.
Over the last few days there's been a raft of other API changes too, to do with
The new Gen AI filter (user settings to determine), an AI label on posts, etc. Marking comments as an answer. Each comment has an answer boolean on it and there's an endpoint to toggle it. Also you can change whether a community is a Q n A community or not in the community edit endpoint.

GET /api/alpha/search now uses the same full-text search engine as the web UI so you can sort results by relevance. e.g.
https://piefed.crust.social/api/alpha/search?q=test&type_=Posts&sort=Relevance
Also if the q parameter has a value then read posts are included in the results regardless of what the user's setting is for hiding read posts. That is to avoid this problem: https://piefed.social/c/lemmyconnect/p/1502152/is-there-any-way-to-include-read-posts-in-search-results

POST /api/alpha/upload/image - upload an image, get a url back. Use that to construct markdown/html as you wish. Uploaded images are associated with the current user and count towards their quota (50 MB by default, tweakable by instance admin)
GET /api/alpha/user/media - get all the images the current user has uploaded. Use this to provide a image picker.
POST /api/alpha/image/delete - provide the url of an image that the current user owns and it'll be deleted.
Details in the swagger docs.
-
GET /api/alpha/user/me - retrieves all the information about the current user, including all the things they've blocked, communities they have joined and communities they moderate.
I built this because I realised that many apps are making requests to /api/alpha/site for this purpose, which is unfortunate as that endpoint returns a lot more besides and can sometimes be slow to do so. This is intended to be a more lightweight alternative to doing a GET of /api/alpha/site so the information in /user/me is the same as the my_user part of /site.
-
POST /api/alpha/domain/block
A domain block will stop all posts that links to that domain from being returned by /api/alpha/post/list for that user.
See https://piefed.social/api/alpha/swagger for details.
