Mastodon.py what does register your app mean?

Question

In the Mastodon.py documentation, the first thing it says is to register your app. What does this mean?

I tried running the following block of code without the first one and it worked fine. So what does registering do? Why is it necessary?

Answer 1

looking up the work register in the documentation navigates us to the registration part within it: https://mastodonpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/#app-registration-and-user-authentication

I guess this would solve your problem
