Find featured postsRead the posts Micro.blog is featuring on Discover: the hand-picked feed of writing from across the whole network, newest first. Every post comes back as plain text as well as HTML, with its author, its photos and the ID you would use to read its replies.
Find posts about a topicRead one of Micro.blog's Discover topics - books, gardening, photography, bread, and around thirty-five more - newest first. The topic is picked from Micro.blog's own list, because asking for a topic that does not exist quietly returns nothing rather than saying so. Posts in the books topic also carry the book they are about.
List topicsList every topic Micro.blog files Discover posts under, with the emoji it shows each one with and whether it is one of the featured ones. These names are exactly what the topic action takes, so this is the step to run first when a workflow should sweep several topics rather than one.
Find featured photosRead the photos Micro.blog is featuring across the whole network, newest first. Each one arrives with its full-size address, a thumbnail, the description its author wrote and the post it came from.
Find someone's postsRead what somebody has been posting, newest first. Micro.blog keeps a person's replies in the same feed as the things they wrote, so a single choice separates the two: a digest of somebody's writing wants their own posts, and watching a conversation wants their replies.
Find someone's photosRead somebody's photo posts, newest first, each with its full-size image, a thumbnail and the description they wrote for it. This is the photo half of their blog on its own, without the writing in between.
Get someone's profileLook somebody up: their display name, the description on their profile, their blog's address, their profile picture, how many accounts they follow and how many of their posts Micro.blog has featured on Discover.
Find someone's timelineRead what somebody sees on Micro.blog: the posts from everyone they follow, newest first, the same feed their own timeline shows. It is the fastest way to follow a community through one person who already follows it.
Find replies to someoneRead the replies and mentions somebody has received, newest first, with who wrote each one. Point it at your own username and run it on a schedule, and each run returns only the replies you have not seen.
Find links to someone's blogFind out who has been linking to somebody's blog. Micro.blog collects the links other sites send it - webmentions - along with the likes and reposts relayed from social networks, and each one says which it is, which page of theirs it points at and which site it came from.
Find replies to a postRead one post and everything said in reply to it, in the order Micro.blog threads them. The post itself comes back separately from its replies, so a step can quote what was said and then work through the answers.
