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 get the raw
JSON. You can then put that JSON into easy to use classes.
[TODO-list](https://schlomp.space/tastytea/mastodon-cpp/milestones)
**The ABI will be unstable in versions < 1.0.0**
**Beginning with 0.30.0, all IDs are `const string` instead of
`uint_fast64_t` as required by the Mastodon API. Sorry for the inconvenience.**
# Breaking API changes
I'm going to rewrite key parts of this library. The new API will be incompatible
with the old one. The new code will start with the version number `0.100.0`. The
old code is archived in the branch `pre-0.100.0` and will get bugfixes for a
while.
**The code on the `master`-branch is not usable at the moment, stick to the
releases, please.**
# Usage
The HTML reference can be generated with `build_doc.sh`, if doxygen is installed. It is also available at
[doc.schlomp.space/mastodon-cpp/](https://doc.schlomp.space/mastodon-cpp/annotated.html).
There are [examples](https://schlomp.space/tastytea/mastodon-cpp/src/branch/master/examples) in `examples/`.
## Most basic example
```C++
#include <iostream>
#include <mastodon-cpp/mastodon-cpp.hpp>
int main()
{
Mastodon::API masto("social.example.com", "auth_token");
std::cout << masto.get(Mastodon::API::v1::accounts_verify_credentials);
std::cout << std::endl;
}
```
## Another simple example
Using the `Easy`-class.
```C++
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <mastodon-cpp/mastodon-cpp.hpp>
#include <mastodon-cpp/easy/all.hpp>
using Mastodon::Easy;
int main()
{
Easy masto("social.example", "");
return_call ret = masto.get(Mastodon::API::v1::timelines_public);
for (const std::string &str : Easy::json_array_to_vector(ret.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:
```SH
g++ -std=c++14 -lmastodon-cpp example.cpp
```
## Error codes
| Code | Explanation |
| --------: |:-------------------------------------------|
| 0 | No error |
| 22 | Invalid argument |
| 78 | URL changed (HTTP 301 or 308) |
| 110 | Connection timed out |
| 111 | Connection refused (check http_error_code) |
| 192 | curlpp runtime error |
| 193 | curlpp logic error |
| 255 | Unknown error |
If you use a debug build, you get more verbose error messages.

# Install
## Packages
Every [release](https://schlomp.space/tastytea/mastodon-cpp/releases) includes
packages for the package managers of Debian and Red Hat. Gentoo packages are
available in an overlay.
### Gentoo
Add my [repository](https://schlomp.space/tastytea/overlay) and
install it from there.
```SH
eselect repository enable tastytea
echo 'dev-cpp/mastodon-cpp ~amd64' >> /etc/portage/package.keywords/mastodon-cpp
emaint sync -r tastytea
emerge -a dev-cpp/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/libcurlpp0) from sid.

### Get sourcecode
#### Release
Download the current release at [schlomp.space](https://schlomp.space/tastytea/mastodon-cpp/releases).
#### Development version
```SH
git clone https://schlomp.space/tastytea/mastodon-cpp.git
```
### Compile
```SH
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
* One of:
* `-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
#### 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.
