from argparse import ArgumentParser
from mastodon import Mastodon

ap = ArgumentParser('unsuspend')
ap.add_argument('-i',type=str,help='instance',default='chaos.social')
ap.add_argument('-t',type=str,help='token (string or file)',default='secret.key')
ap.add_argument('u',type=str,nargs='*',help='users')
a = ap.parse_args()

m = Mastodon(api_base_url=a.i,access_token=a.t)

users = []
for uid in a.u:
  results = m.account_search(uid)
  if len(results) == 0:
    raise Exception('User %s not found' % uid)
  elif len(results) > 1:
    raise Exception('User %s is ambiguous' % uid)
  users += results

for user in users:
    print("unsuspending %d" % user.id)
    m.admin_account_unsuspend(user)

This script allows unsuspending users in batch on the command-line.

It will only accept locally unambiguous user names, so be sure to provide the whole identifier.

Admin privileges are obviously required.
