Release

Download the current release at GitHub.

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
  • -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.

Packages

Gentoo

Put the ebuild in packages/gentoo into your local overlay and rename it to match the desired version.

Or use the ebuild from the releases page.

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.

RPM packages are untested and DEB packages are tested sporadically. To use the DEB package on stretch, you will need libcurlpp0 from buster or jessie.

Prebuilt packages for x86_64(amd64) are provided with each release.

Other

Run make install from the build directory to 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/. 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

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.
