*{project}* is a C++ wrapper for the Mastodon and Pleroma APIs. It replaces
link:{uri-mastodon-cpp}[mastodon-cpp].
We aim to create a library that is comfortable, yet minimal. All API endpoints
from Mastodon and Pleroma are stored in ``enum class``es, to counteract typos and
make your life easier. The network-facing code is built on
link:{uri-libcurl}[libcurl], a mature and stable library that is available on
virtually every operating system. The library does not parse the responses
itself, but returns to you the raw data, because we know everyone has their
favorite JSON library and we don't want to impose our choice on you!
== Features
This is still a work in progress; here is a rough overview of the features:
* [x] `GET`, Streaming `GET`, `POST`, `PATCH`, `PUT` and `DELETE` requests.
* [x] Report maximum allowed character per post.
* [x] Comfortable access to pagination headers.
* [x] Comfortable function to register a new “app” (get an access token).
* [x] Report which mime types are allowed for posting statuses.
== Usage
Have a look at the link:{uri-reference}[reference].
=== Example
[source,cpp]
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#include "mastodonpp.hpp"
#include <iostream>
int main()
{
mastodonpp::Instance instance{"example.com", "123AccessToken123"};
instance.set_proxy("socks4a://[::1]:9050");
mastodonpp::Connection connection{instance};
const mastodonpp::parametermap parameters
{
{"status", "How is the weather?"},
{"poll[options]", vector<string_view>{"Nice", "not nice"}},
{"poll[expires_in]", "86400"}
};
auto answer{connection.post(mastodonpp::API::v1::statuses, parameters)};
if (answer)
{
std::cout << answer << std::endl;
}
}
