**mastodon-cpp** is a C++ wrapper for the Mastodon API.
The library takes care of the network stuff. You submit a query and use the raw
JSON or abstract classes.

[TODO-list](https://github.com/tastytea/mastodon-cpp/milestones)

# Usage

The HTML reference can be generated with `build_doc.sh`, if doxygen is installed.
It is also available at [tastytea.github.io/mastodon-cpp/](https://tastytea.github.io/mastodon-cpp/docs/annotated.html).
There are [examples](https://github.com/tastytea/mastodon-cpp/tree/master/examples) in `examples/`.

## Upgrading from below 0.7.0

The header location has changed. They are now in `mastodon-cpp/`.

## Most basic example

```C++
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <mastodon-cpp/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';
}
```

## Another simple example

Using the `Easy-class`.

```C++
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <vector>
#include <mastodon-cpp/mastodon-cpp.hpp>
#include <mastodon-cpp/easy/all.hpp>

using Mastodon::Easy;

int main()
{
    Easy masto("social.example", "");
    std::string answer;
    masto.get(Mastodon::API::v1::timelines_public, answer);

    for (const std::string &str : Easy::json_array_to_vector(answer))
    {
        Easy::Status status(str);
        std::cout << "  " << status.account().acct() << " wrote:\n";
        std::cout << status.content() << '\n';
    }
}
```

## Compiling your project

A project consisting of one file can be compiled as follows:

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

## Error codes

mastodon-cpp will never use error codes below 11, except 0.

|      Code | Explanation                   |
| --------: |:------------------------------|
|         0 | No error                      |
|        11 | Invalid call                  |
|        12 | Not implemented               |
|        13 | URL changed (HTTP 301 or 308) |
|        14 | Aborted by user               |
|        20 | Failed to connect             |
|        21 | Couldn't resolve host         |
|        22 | Network is unreachable        |
| 100 - 999 | HTTP status codes             |
|     65535 | Unknown error                 |

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

# Install

## Packages

Every [release](https://github.com/tastytea/mastodon-cpp/releases) includes
packages for the package managers of Gentoo, Debian and Red Hat.

### Gentoo

Put the ebuild into your [local overlay](https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Custom_repository) and run `ebuild <ebuild path> manifest`.
Install with `emerge mastodon-cpp`.

### DEB and RPM

Prebuilt DEB and RPM packages for x86_64(amd64) are provided with each release.
These packages are automatically built and not tested.
Install with `dpkg -i` or `rpm -i`, respectively.

To use the DEB package on stretch, you will need [libcurlpp0](https://packages.debian.org/de/libcurlpp0) from buster or jessie.

## From source

### Get sourcecode

#### Release

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

#### Development version

[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/tastytea/mastodon-cpp.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/tastytea/mastodon-cpp)

    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
 * `-DWITHOUT_EASY=ON` to not build the Easy abstractions and to get rid of the jsoncpp-dependency (not recommended)
 * `-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
 * `-DWITH_DEB=ON` if you want to be able to generate a deb-package
 * `-DWITH_RPM=ON` if you want to be able to generate an rpm-package

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

### Packages

#### Gentoo

Put the ebuild from `packages/gentoo` into your [local overlay](https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Custom_repository) and rename it to match the desired version or use the live-ebuild (`mastodon-cpp-9999.ebuild`) to install the development version.

#### DEB and RPM

Compile with `-DWITH_DEB=ON` or `-DWITH_RPM=ON`.
Run `make package` from the build directory to generate a DEB/RPM package.

#### Other

Run `make package` from the build directory to generate a tar.gz archive.
