Provide an example endpoint with a wide variety of mentions

Open strugee opened this issue 8 years ago • 2 comments

I'd like to be able to make sure my site's client JS can handle all kinds of WebMentions (e.g. likes), but I can't since I haven't received a wide variety of mentions yet.

It would be awesome if webmention.io provided some sort of "example endpoint" that I could temporarily change the webmention data URL to in order to simulate having all different kinds of mentions on one page.

There are a couple resources you can use:

  • https://webmention.rocks/
  • https://github.com/voxpelli/node-webmention-testpinger

More here: https://indieweb.org/webmention-implementation-guide

I'm not really interested in adding these tools to webmention.io, but this is a great suggestion for webmention.rocks.

We discussed in IRC, and I better understand the question now.

It would be useful for webmention.io to provide example data (in the form of an endpoint) for various kinds of Webmentions that it receives. This would provide this sample data to clients that are testing the Webmention.io API so they have "real" data to test against.
