mastodonpp is a C++ wrapper for the Mastodon and Pleroma APIs. It replaces mastodon-cpp.

We aim to create a library that is comfortable, yet minimal. All API endpoints from Mastodon and Pleroma are stored in enum classes, to counteract typos and make your life easier. The network-facing code is built on 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!

Here is a rough overview of the features:

• ✓ GET, Streaming GET, POST, PATCH, PUT and DELETE requests.

• ✓ Comfortable access to pagination headers.

• ✓ Report maximum allowed character per post.

• ✓ Simple function to register a new “app” (get an access token).

• ✓ Report which mime types are allowed for posting statuses.

• ✓ Find and retrieve NodeInfo.

• ✓ Easy access to the libcurl handle for maximum configurability.

• ✓ Set proxy server, User-Agent and the path to the CA bundle.

Have a look at the reference.

Example

#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;
    }
}
