    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.

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

      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.
