Overview: ActivityPub is the new standard for connecting social networks together on the social web. This open, decentralized social networking protocol defines an API for sharing activities to a social network and a procedure that servers use to distribute those activities to a subscriber’s feed. With this book, you’ll learn how to assemble ActivityPub-enabled clients for making new kinds of social apps on top of existing networks and build ActivityPub servers that create new human or automated accounts on the social web. With those skills under your belt, you can explore other applications of this publish-subscribe technology: content management systems, internet of things, and enterprise automation. With hands-on examples and in-depth knowledge from Evan Prodromou, one of the authors of the protocol, this is the ActivityPub handbook that every social software hacker needs. The goal of this book is to teach you how to use the standards of the social web to make cool software and help human beings connect in fascinating ways. You can use social web technologies to connect an existing project to the social web, or you can start something new from scratch. You can make a tool that only a few people will use or something that changes how people live their lives, online and off. Let’s take a quick look at the main relevant standards for social web software: Activity Streams 2.0 for data, the ActivityPub federation protocol for server interconnection, and the ActivityPub API for client-to-server programming.
