Working with Models

The ActivityPub object models used by apkit are provided by the apmodel library. These are defined as standard Python dataclasses, not Pydantic models.

This allows you to benefit from type hinting, autocompletion, and static analysis while working with lightweight and easy-to-handle objects for your ActivityPub data.

from apkit.models import Person

# Can be instantiated like a normal dataclass
new_person = Person(
    id="https://example.com/new_person",
    name="New Person"
)
