!BitlBee had support for identi.ca, but it no longer works, since identi.ca moved to pump.io as its backend. Don't try and use it any more. ## page was renamed from HowtoIdentica

!BitlBee has support for !StatusNet, an open source social networking and micro-blogging Software based on the !OpenMicroBlogging specification. It uses the same protocol as twitter, but defaults to a base_url pointing at an Identi.ca, and with OAuth disabled.

'''Note''': since new Identi.ca doesn't support !StatusNet API, you should change the API base_url to your active !StatusNet instance. if you don't know what is your base_url address, follow [[https://wiki.gnusocial.de/en:gnusocial:api:discovery#finding_the_api_root|StatusNet API Discovery]].

To use your !StatusNet account in !BitlBee do as follow.

{{{
<nick> account add identica <handle> [<password>]
<root> Account successfully added
<nick> account identica set oauth false
<root> oauth = `false'
<nick> account identica set base_url 'https://example.com/api/'
<root> base_url = `https://example.com/api/'
<nick> account identica set password <MyTopSecretPassword>
<root> Setting changed successfully
<nick> account identica on
<root> Trying to get all accounts connected...
<root> identica - Logging in: Connecting
}}}

The optional password on the first step is not needed, as it is set in a later step. It's unclear why there's even an option to supply the password there.

How to StatusNet

BitlBee has support for StatusNet, an open source social networking and micro-blogging Software based on the OpenMicroBlogging specification. It uses the same protocol as twitter, but defaults to a base_url pointing at an Identi.ca, and with OAuth disabled.

Note: since new Identi.ca doesn't support StatusNet API, you should change the API base_url to your active StatusNet instance. if you don't know what is your base_url address, follow StatusNet API Discovery.

To use your StatusNet account in BitlBee do as follow.

<nick> account add identica <handle> [<password>]
<root> Account successfully added
<nick> account identica set oauth false
<root> oauth = `false'
<nick> account identica set base_url 'https://example.com/api/'
<root> base_url = `https://example.com/api/'
<nick> account identica set password <MyTopSecretPassword>
<root> Setting changed successfully
<nick> account identica on
<root> Trying to get all accounts connected...
<root> identica - Logging in: Connecting

The optional password on the first step is not needed, as it is set in a later step. It's unclear why there's even an option to supply the password there.
