-Friendica API
-===
-
-* [Home](help)
-
-The Friendica API aims to be compatible to the [GNU Social API](http://wiki.gnusocial.de/gnusocial:api) and the [Twitter API](https://dev.twitter.com/rest/public).
-
-Please refer to the linked documentation for further information.
-
-## Implemented API calls
-
-### General
-#### HTTP Method
-
-API endpoints can restrict the method used to request them.
-Using an invalid method results in HTTP error 405 "Method Not Allowed".
-
-In this document, the required method is listed after the endpoint name. "*" means every method can be used.
-
-#### Auth
-
-Friendica supports basic http auth and OAuth 1 to authenticate the user to the api.
-
-OAuth settings can be added by the user in web UI under /settings/oauth/
-
-In this document, endpoints which requires auth are marked with "AUTH" after endpoint name
-
-#### Unsupported parameters
-* cursor: Not implemented in GNU Social
-* trim_user: Not implemented in GNU Social
-* contributor_details: Not implemented in GNU Social
-* place_id: Not implemented in GNU Social
-* display_coordinates: Not implemented in GNU Social
-* include_rts: To-Do
-* include_my_retweet: Retweets in Friendica are implemented in a different way
-
-#### Different behaviour
-* screen_name: The nick name in friendica is only unique in each network but not for all networks. The users are searched in the following priority: Friendica, StatusNet/GNU Social, Diaspora, pump.io, Twitter. If no contact was found by this way, then the first contact is taken.
-* include_entities: Default is "false". If set to "true" then the plain text is formatted so that links are having descriptions.
-
-#### Return values
-* cid: Contact id of the user (important for "contact_allow" and "contact_deny")
-* network: network of the user
-
-#### Errors
-When an error occour in API call, an HTTP error code is returned, with an error message
-Usually:
-- 400 Bad Request: if parameter are missing or items can't be found
-- 403 Forbidden: if authenticated user is missing
-- 405 Method Not Allowed: if API was called with invalid method, eg. GET when API require POST
-- 501 Not Implemented: if requested API doesn't exists
-- 500 Internal Server Error: on other error contitions
-
-Error body is
-
-json:
-```
- {
- "error": "Specific error message",
- "request": "API path requested",
- "code": "HTTP error code"
- }
-```
-

-### Python
-The [RSStoFriedika](https://github.com/pafcu/RSStoFriendika) code can be used as an example of how to use the API with python. The lines for posting are located at [line 21](https://github.com/pafcu/RSStoFriendika/blob/master/RSStoFriendika.py#L21) and following.
-
-def tweet(server, message, group_allow=None):
-url = server + '/api/statuses/update'
-urllib2.urlopen(url, urllib.urlencode({'status': message,'group_allow[]':group_allow}, doseq=True))
-
-There is also a [module for python 3](https://bitbucket.org/tobiasd/python-friendica) for using the API.
+# Friendica API
+
+
+
+* [Home](help)
+
+The Friendica API aims to be compatible with the [GNU Social API](http://wiki.gnusocial.de/gnusocial:api) and the [Twitter API](https://dev.twitter.com/rest/public).
+
+Please refer to the linked documentation for further information.
+
+## Implemented API calls
+
+### General
+
+#### HTTP Method
+
+API endpoints can restrict the method used to request them.
+Using an invalid method results in HTTP error 405 "Method Not Allowed".
+
+In this document, the required method is listed after the endpoint name. "*" means every method can be used.
+
+#### Auth
+
+Friendica supports basic http auth and OAuth 1 to authenticate the user to the api.
+
+OAuth settings can be added by the user in web UI under /settings/oauth/
+
+In this document, endpoints which requires auth are marked with "AUTH" after endpoint name
+
+#### Unsupported parameters
+
+* cursor: Not implemented in GNU Social
+* trim_user: Not implemented in GNU Social
+* contributor_details: Not implemented in GNU Social
+* place_id: Not implemented in GNU Social
+* display_coordinates: Not implemented in GNU Social
+* include_rts: To-Do
+* include_my_retweet: Retweets in Friendica are implemented in a different way
+
+#### Different behaviour
+
+* screen_name: The nick name in friendica is only unique in each network but not for all networks. The users are searched in the following priority: Friendica, StatusNet/GNU Social, Diaspora, pump.io, Twitter. If no contact was found by this way, then the first contact is taken.
+* include_entities: Default is "false". If set to "true" then the plain text is formatted so that links are having descriptions.
+
+#### Return values
+
+* cid: Contact id of the user (important for "contact_allow" and "contact_deny")
+* network: network of the user
+
+#### Errors
+
+When an error occurs in API call, an HTTP error code is returned, with an error message
+Usually:
+
+* 400 Bad Request: if parameters are missing or items can't be found
+* 403 Forbidden: if the authenticated user is missing
+* 405 Method Not Allowed: if API was called with an invalid method, eg. GET when API require POST
+* 501 Not Implemented: if the requested API doesn't exist
+* 500 Internal Server Error: on other error conditions
+
+Error body is
+
+json:
+
+```json
+ {
+ "error": "Specific error message",
+ "request": "API path requested",
+ "code": "HTTP error code"
+ }
+```
+
+xml:
+
+```xml
+
+ Specific error message

+
+### friendica/photo/update (POST; AUTH)
+
+#### Parameters

+Saves data for the scales 0-2 to database (see above for scale description).
+Call adds non-visible entries to items table to enable authenticated contacts to comment/like the photo.

+### Python
+
+The [RSStoFriendika](https://github.com/pafcu/RSStoFriendika) code can be used as an example of how to use the API with python.
+The lines for posting are located at [line 21](https://github.com/pafcu/RSStoFriendika/blob/master/RSStoFriendika.py#L21) and following.
+
+def tweet(server, message, group_allow=None):
+url = server + '/api/statuses/update'
+urllib2.urlopen(url, urllib.urlencode({'status': message,'group_allow[]':group_allow}, doseq=True))
+
+There is also a [module for python 3](https://bitbucket.org/tobiasd/python-friendica) for using the API.
