This service allows you to fetch some extended Activity Streams objects Over Activity Pub to interact with. This is meant for debugging purposes.

For example, let's say Alice, using her personal fedi software called WonderFed, sends a follow request to Mary who is running Akkoma. Normally Mary should see this, but what if her instance doesn't show it? Clearly something went wrong, but it may not always easy to debug. Debugging means that you need to redo the steps, using two different types of software, and then try to get enough logging to actually see what's going on.

Instead Alice decides to use this service. She pulls in a demo actor https://ap-logger.ilja.space/actors/person, and sends a follow request. Then she checks https://ap-logger.ilja.space/logs to see how her request looked like. She gives this information to Mary who can now make a good guess how the Follow request that her instance didn't understand would have looked like. Using this information, she can now try to debug further.

The logged requests are in JSON format. They have

• time: which is the time the server got the request
• method: the method of the request. Only GET and POST requests are logged
• path: the path without query parameters
• path_query: the query parameters in a string format
• headers: a list of the provided headers
• data: the data, aka body, of the request

Note that

• We log the "catch-all" route. Fetching of the objects is not logged. (Or should that change?)
• The logs are ordered by time of request. The most recent requests are shown first
• Logs older than 24h are pruned
• We only log the most recent 1000 requests at most

Objects that you can fetch are

• Actor of type Person: https://ap-logger.ilja.space/actors/person
• Object of type Note: https://ap-logger.ilja.space/objects/note
