-        from mastodon import Mastodon

-        # Register app - only once!        
-        Mastodon.create_app(

+    - for **Mastodon** : see [Python wrapper for the Mastodon API](https://mastodonpy.readthedocs.io/)
+      - Generate the client and user credentials manually via the [Mastodon client](https://mastodonpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/#app-registration-and-user-authentication)
+        - note that using an instance other than https://mastodon.social requires adding `api_base_url` to most method calls.
+        - the file names for **client_id** and **access_token_file** go in the mastodon section of **config.yml**
+      - Or use the included script (`python3 create_mastodon_client.py`) which will register your app and prompt you to log in, creating the credential files for you.
