mastodon-cpp

mastodon-cpp is a C++ wrapper for the Mastodon API. You submit an API call and get the raw JSON or easy to use abstractions.

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/. There are more examples in examples/.

Examples

Example 1. Print own account as JSON to stdout.
#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;
}
Example 2. Use the Easy interface to get the last posts from the federated timeline.
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <mastodon-cpp/mastodon-cpp.hpp>
#include <mastodon-cpp/easy/all.hpp>

using Mastodon;

int main()
{
    Easy::API masto("social.example", "");
    return_call ret = masto.get(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:

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

Install

Upgrading from versions below 0.100.0

Starting with version 0.100.0, large parts of the library have been rewritten. Upgrading from previous versions will require extensive code changes. You can keep using the old version, it is archived in the branch pre-0.100.0. It will receive bug-fixes for a while but no new features.

Packages

Every release includes packages for Debian and Centos. Gentoo packages are available in my overlay.

Gentoo

Add my repository and install it from there.

eselect repository enable tastytea
echo 'dev-cpp/mastodon-cpp ~amd64' >> /etc/portage/package.accept_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. .deb packages are built on Debian stretch and .rpm packages are built on CentOS 7. These packages are automatically built and not tested.

Development version
git clone https://schlomp.space/tastytea/mastodon-cpp.git

Compile

mkdir build
cd build/
cmake ..
cmake --build . -- -j$(nproc --ignore=1)
cmake options:
  • -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug for a debug build.

  • -DWITH_EASY=NO to not build the Easy abstractions and to get rid of the jsoncpp-dependency (not recommended).

  • -DWITH_EXAMPLES=YES if you want to compile the examples.

  • -DWITH_TESTS=YES if you want to compile the tests.

  • -DEXTRA_TEST_ARGS to run only some tests (format).

    • Possible tags: [api], [auth], [mastodon], [glitch-soc], [pleroma], [upload], [entity].

  • -DWITH_DOC=NO if you dont want to compile the HTML reference.

  • One of:

    • -DWITH_DEB=YES if you want to be able to generate a deb-package.

    • -DWITH_RPM=YES if you want to be able to generate an rpm-package.

Example 4. Run only tests for glitch-soc features that dont upload any files.
cmake -DWITH_TESTS=YES -DEXTRA_TEST_ARGS=[glitch-soc]~[upload] ..

Tests

You can run the tests with ctest inside the build directory. You need to set the environment variable MASTODON_CPP_ACCESS_TOKEN to an access token with the scopes read, write and follow for tests tagged with [auth]. You can select the instance to use with MASTODON_CPP_INSTANCE, the default is likeable.space. You can select the user ID with MASTODON_CPP_USER_ID, the default is 9hnrrVPriLiLVAhfVo. You can select the status ID with MASTODON_CPP_STATUS_ID, the default is 9hwnuJMq3eTdO4s1PU. You can select the filter ID with MASTODON_CPP_FILTER_ID. You can select the list ID with MASTODON_CPP_LIST_ID, the default is 2. You can select the media ID with MASTODON_CPP_MEDIA_ID, the default is 2127742613.

Requirements for the test-user:
  • Have at least 1 follower.

  • Follow at least 1 account.

  • Have at least 1 account endorsed.

  • Have at least 1 public or unlisted status.

  • Have at least 1 post favourited.

  • Have no follow requests.

  • Have at least 1 list with at least one account in it.

  • have at least 1 account muted.

Status of implementation

You can still use unsupported calls by using API::get and the others with strings and you can use unsupported fields in an Entity by converting it to Json::Value.
