Raw Blame History

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

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/. There are examples in examples/.

Upgrading from below 0.7.0

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

Most basic example

#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.

#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

Install

Packages

Every release includes packages for the package managers of Gentoo, Debian and Red Hat.

Gentoo

Put the ebuild into your local overlay 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 from buster or jessie.

Development version

Build Status

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 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.
