Specify `redirect_uris` if you want users to be redirected to a certain page after authenticating in an OAuth flow.
You can specify multiple URLs by passing a list. Note that if you wish to use OAuth authentication with redirects,
the redirect URI must be one of the URLs specified here.
Specify `to_file` to persist your app's info to a file so you can use it in the constructor.
Specify `website` to give a website for your app.
Specify `session` with a requests.Session for it to be used instead of the default. This can be
used to, amongst other things, adjust proxy or SSL certificate settings.
Specify `user_agent` if you want to use a specific name as `User-Agent` header, otherwise "mastodonpy" will be used.
Presently, app registration is open by default, but this is not guaranteed to be the case for all
Mastodon instances in the future.
Returns `client_id` and `client_secret`, both as strings.

"""
Create a new API wrapper instance based on the given `client_secret` and `client_id` on the
instance given by `api_base_url`. If you give a `client_id` and it is not a file, you must
also give a secret. If you specify an `access_token` then you don't need to specify a `client_id`.
It is allowed to specify neither - in this case, you will be restricted to only using endpoints
that do not require authentication. If a file is given as `client_id`, client ID, secret and
base url are read from that file.
You can also specify an `access_token`, directly or as a file (as written by :ref:`log_in() <log_in()>`). If
a file is given, Mastodon.py also tries to load the base URL from this file, if present. A
client id and secret are not required in this case.
Mastodon.py can try to respect rate limits in several ways, controlled by `ratelimit_method`.
"throw" makes functions throw a `MastodonRatelimitError` when the rate
limit is hit. "wait" mode will, once the limit is hit, wait and retry the request as soon
as the rate limit resets, until it succeeds. "pace" works like throw, but tries to wait in
between calls so that the limit is generally not hit (how hard it tries to avoid hitting the rate
limit can be controlled by ratelimit_pacefactor). The default setting is "wait". Note that
even in "wait" and "pace" mode, requests can still fail due to network or other problems! Also
note that "pace" and "wait" are NOT thread safe.
By default, a timeout of 300 seconds is used for all requests. If you wish to change this,
pass the desired timeout (in seconds) as `request_timeout`.
For fine-tuned control over the requests object use `session` with a requests.Session.
The `mastodon_version` parameter can be used to specify the version of Mastodon that Mastodon.py will
expect to be installed on the server. The function will throw an error if an unparseable
Version is specified. If no version is specified, Mastodon.py will set `mastodon_version` to the
detected version.
The version check mode can be set to "created" (the default behaviour), "changed" or "none". If set to
"created", Mastodon.py will throw an error if the version of Mastodon it is connected to is too old
to have an endpoint. If it is set to "changed", it will throw an error if the endpoint's behaviour has
changed after the version of Mastodon that is connected has been released. If it is set to "none",
version checking is disabled.
`feature_set` can be used to enable behaviour specific to non-mainline Mastodon API implementations.
Details are documented in the functions that provide such functionality. Currently supported feature
sets are `mainline`, `fedibird` and `pleroma`.
For some Mastodon instances a `User-Agent` header is needed. This can be set by parameter `user_agent`. Starting from
Mastodon.py 1.5.2 `create_app()` stores the application name into the client secret file. If `client_id` points to this file,
the app name will be used as `User-Agent` header as default. It is possible to modify old secret files and append
a client app name to use it as a `User-Agent` name.
`lang` can be used to change the locale Mastodon will use to generate responses. Valid parameters are all ISO 639-1 (two letter)
or for a language that has none, 639-3 (three letter) language codes. This affects some error messages (those related to validation) and
trends. You can change the language using :ref:`set_language()`.
If no other `User-Agent` is specified, "mastodonpy" will be used.

Returns the URL that a client needs to request an OAuth grant from the server.

`scopes` are as in :ref:`log_in() <log_in()>`, redirect_uris is where the user should be redirected to

Pass force_login if you want the user to always log in even when already logged

`state` is the oauth `state` parameter to pass to the server. It is strongly suggested
to use a random, nonguessable value (i.e. nothing meaningful and no incrementing ID)
to preserve security guarantees. It can be left out for non-web login flows.
