Does Lemmy allow bots? Is there an API? (lemmygrad.ml)

I'm sketching out an idea for a readability assessment program. It will report the education level required to comfortably read a body of text using formulas, Dale-Chall being the most significant, that count length of sentences, what level of vocab a word is considered to be, etc. I was inspired by the word counter website I always paste my essays into. When it's done, I would like to plug it into APIs for it to be used on Lemmy, Mastodon, and Discord.

Bots are allowed but you should mark a bot account as such from https://lemmygrad.ml/settings so that people know that the activity is from a bot.

There is a HTTP API. The docs for it are supposed to be at https://join-lemmy.org but the site seems to be down right now.
