Open Web Initiative

We believe in giving you control over how you interact with our store. No walled gardens, no lock-in. Just open protocols, open data, and open APIs. The same spirit as RSS, just a different era.

Our Open Web page is the hub for everything below.

ActivityPub / Fediverse

Follow our store from Mastodon, Misskey, Pleroma, or any ActivityPub-compatible app. New product announcements show up right in your timeline.

Our Fediverse handle is @store@littlebirdelectronics.com.au. You can look us up from any ActivityPub client.

Under the hood, this uses standard ActivityPub protocols:

WebFinger — GET /.well-known/webfinger?resource=acct:store@littlebirdelectronics.com.au — discover our ActivityPub actor
Actor profile — GET /activitypub/actor — our JSON-LD actor document
Outbox — GET /activitypub/actor/outbox — all published activities
Inbox — POST /activitypub/actor/inbox — for federated servers to deliver follow requests

Atom feeds

Subscribe to our product feeds in any RSS reader. See Atom Feeds for the full list of available feeds, including per-collection and per-order feeds.

Public API

A free, read-only JSON API with no authentication required. Search products, browse collections, and get full product details. See Public API for endpoints and usage.

Webhooks

Get real-time HTTP notifications when things happen in our store — back-in-stock, price drops, new products, order updates. Every webhook is signed with HMAC-SHA256. See Webhooks for setup and payload format.

Web Push notifications

Browser push notifications using the standard Web Push API with VAPID authentication. Choose exactly what you want to hear about — specific collections, back-in-stock alerts, or new products. No third-party services involved.

Machine-readable metadata

Every product page includes rich JSON-LD structured data (Schema.org Product, Offer, AggregateRating, Review, BreadcrumbList). Additionally:

llms.txt — machine-readable store index for LLMs and AI agents
humans.txt — who built this store
security.txt — security contact information

For full details on AI and LLM integration, see LLMs & AI Agents and Markdown Endpoints.
