mastodon-cpp/README.md

**mastodon-cpp** is a C++ wrapper for the Mastodon API. The aim is to be as simple as possible.
The library takes care of the network stuff. You submit a query and get the raw JSON.
All versions below 1.0.0 (SOVERSION 0) are considered insecure, unstable and can change any time.

## Get sourcecode

### Release

Download the current release at [GitHub](https://github.com/tastytea/mastodon-cpp/releases).

### Development version

    git clone https://github.com/tastytea/mastodon-cpp.git

## Compile

    mkdir build
    cd build/
    cmake ..
    make

cmake options:

 * `-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug` for a debug build
 * `-DWITH_EXAMPLES=ON` if you want to compile the examples
 * `-DWITH_TESTS=ON` if you want to compile the tests
 * `-DWITH_DOC=ON` if you want to compile the HTML reference

You can run the tests with `ctest ..` inside the build directory.
Install with `make install`.

# Usage

The HTML reference can be generated with `build_doc.sh`, if doxygen is installed. Or just look in `src/mastodon-cpp.hpp`. There are examples in `src/examples/`.

## Most basic example

    #include <iostream>
    #include <string>
    #include <mastodon-cpp.hpp>

    int main()
    {
        Mastodon::API masto("social.example.com", "auth_token");
        std::string answer;
        masto.get(Mastodon::API::v1::accounts_verify_credentials, answer);
        std::cout << answer << '\n';
    }

## Compiling your project

After you did a `make install`, a project consisting of one file can be compiled as follows:

    g++ -std=c++14 -lmastodon-cpp example.cpp

## Error codes

|      Code | Explanation                   |
| --------: |:------------------------------|
|         0 | No error                      |
|         1 | Invalid call                  |
|         2 | Not implemented               |
|        16 | Connection failed             |
|        17 | TLS error                     |
|        18 | Invalid response from server  |
| 100 - 999 | HTTP status codes             |
|     65535 | Unknown exception             |

If you use a debug build, you get more verbose error messages.
