*{project}* is a C++ wrapper for the link:{uri-wp-mastodon}[Mastodon] and
link:{uri-pleroma}[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
most operating systems. 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
Here is a rough overview of the features:
* [x] `GET`, Streaming `GET`, `POST`, `PATCH`, `PUT` and `DELETE` requests.
* [x] Comfortable access to pagination headers.
* [x] Report maximum allowed character per post.
* [x] Simple function to register a new “app” (get an access token).
* [x] Report which mime types are allowed for posting statuses.
* [x] Find and retrieve link:{uri-nodeinfo}[NodeInfo].
* [x] Easy access to the libcurl handle for maximum configurability.
* [x] Set proxy server, User-Agent and the path to the CA bundle.
== Usage
Have a look at the link:{uri-reference}[reference].
=== Example
[source,cpp]
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#include <mastodonpp/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;
}
}
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
