**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 unstable and can change any time.
# Install

## 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`. It is also available at [tastytea.github.io/mastodon-cpp/](https://tastytea.github.io/mastodon-cpp/docs/classMastodon_1_1API.html).
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
