✍️ Reusable API proxy in just a few lines of JavaScript

For my project Mentions United, which collects interactions from various platforms via API to display them on the own page, at some point I needed a way to hide the authentication tokens required for some APIs from being used by unauthorized parties. You simply don’t leave your security keys lying around in the code, especially not if it’s publicly visible on GitHub. ...

After I recently dived into the Lemmy world and found out which API route I needed for a Lemmy integration as a Mentions United Provider Plugin, the rest was no longer particularly difficult, because the data is very heavy due to many redundancies, but easy to process. So my new plugin is ready and running on this blog to display Lemmy interactions …

Slightly triggered by the post My blog now has Lemmy comments, I thought it would be a good idea to take a closer look at another great representative of the Fediverse world: Lemmy. Of course, also with an eye on the possibility of developing another Mentions United Provider Plugin, along the lines of what “Coship” can do, I also can do and that for everyone ;) ...

Posting here also, because [email protected] commented that the API should work as expected on lemm.ee for instance and I don't know where is the right place to post my question. Can someone help?

I try to get comment data for my posts via API from my Lemmy instance, but whatever I try on using the GetComments endpoint it delivers an empty array.

For example ... GET https://programming.dev/api/v3/comment/list?post_id=20878811 leads to:

{
  "comments": []
}

I want to ask here, before creating an issue. Has someone a hint?

Since I wasn't satisfied with the way syndicated interactions were displayed on my blog, I built something myself with #javascript. What do you think of the idea and implementation?
