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 insecure, unstable and can change any time.

Install

Dependencies

• Tested OS: Linux
• C++ compiler (tested: gcc 6.4)
• cmake (tested: 3.9.6)
• boost (tested: 1.63.0)
• Optional: doxygen (tested: 1.8.13)

Get sourcecode

Development version

git clone https://github.com/tastytea/mastodon-cpp.git

Compile

mkdir build
cd build/
cmake ..
make

If you want to compile a debug build, use cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug .. instead.

Usage

The reference can be generated with build_doc.sh, if doxygen is installed. Or just look in src/mastodon-cpp.hpp. There is an example in src/example.

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 -lboost_system -lssl -lcrypto example.cpp

Error codes

2	Not implemented
16	Connection failed
17	TLS error
18	Invalid response from server
