I used the #mastodon #api to get all the users who boosted a toot within a certain time range for a christmas lottery.
There was something I stumbled over and I think here might be the right place to ask :).
So I assumed the user ID is only unique within ones own instance. So I thought when I get the list of people who boosted the toot, I need to use the user ID together with their individual instance and make a request to the users instance.
