**mastodon-cpp** is a C++ wrapper for the Mastodon API.
The library takes care of the network stuff. You submit a query and get the raw JSON.
[TODO-list](https://github.com/tastytea/mastodon-cpp/milestones)
# Usage
The HTML reference can be generated with `build_doc.sh`, if doxygen is installed.
Or just look in `src/mastodon-cpp.hpp`. It is also available at [tastytea.github.io/mastodon-cpp/](https://tastytea.github.io/mastodon-cpp/docs/classMastodon_1_1API.html).
There are [examples](https://github.com/tastytea/mastodon-cpp/tree/master/src/examples) in `src/examples/`.
## Upgrading from below 0.7.0
The header location has changed. It is 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';
}
```
## 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
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.

### 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 in `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.
