      Try simply adding the following to your package.json: "type": "module"

      I tested this with import * as Mastodon from 'tsl-mastodon-api'; in a test.js file using the example from their readme, executing with ts-node test.js (NOTE THAT THIS IS A JS FILE! Not a .ts file) and it works. It times out, of course, because the example URL doesn’t exist, but you get the idea. Minimal example (package.json is default from npm init -y but with the "type": "module" added. I also tested with your package.json [adding type:module] and tsconfig.json):

      test.js :

      import * as Mastodon from 'tsl-mastodon-api';
      
      const mastodon = new Mastodon.API({
          access_token: 'ABC',
          api_url: 'https://mastodon.example/api/v1/'
      });
      
      const result = await mastodon.postStatus({
          sensitive: true,
          spoiler_text: 'Hello',
          status: 'World'
      });
      console.log(JSON.stringify(result));
      

      Full package.json that you provided with the “type” property added :

        {
          "name": "hourlypets",
          "type": "module",
          "version": "1.0.0",
          "description": "A bot for displaying hourly pets",
          "main": "dist/index.js", 
          "scripts": {
            "start": "node dist/index.js", 
            "test": "echo \"Error: no test specified\" && exit 1"
          },
          "keywords": [],
          "author": "",
          "license": "ISC",
          "devDependencies": {
            "@types/node": "^20.5.1",
            "typescript": "^5.1.6"
          },
          "dependencies": {
            "@petfinder/petfinder-js": "^1.0.6",
            "dotenv": "^16.3.1",
            "tsl-mastodon-api": "^0.4.0"
          }
        }
      

      On the note that I used test.js - if this was instead test.ts and you tried to execute it directly with ts-node like ts-node test.ts it will throw the error TypeError [ERR_UNKNOWN_FILE_EXTENSION]: Unknown file extension ".ts" for test.ts. So, I made the assumption that your file is a JS based solely on that fact.

      If you still have problems, post a super simplified script like my test.js above that causes the issue for you and I’ll test with yours. You can exclude all private code - just enough to trigger the module error… meaning you could probably just have the import and console.log('hi'); and that would be sufficient.

        I am using TS for pretty much the entire project, but I know TS and JS are pretty much the same with a few added rules.

        so attempting this causes all typescript stuff to break, sadly some of my code depends on typescript specific things.
