Switched to POCO library for unified platform/library interface. Deprecated the external module API. It was creating more problems than solving. Removed most built-in libraries in favor of system libraries for easier maintenance. Cleaned and secured code with help from static analyzers.

# C++ Requests: Curl for People <img align="right" height="40" src="http://i.imgur.com/d9Xtyts.png">
|
|
|
|
[](https://whoshuu.github.io/cpr/)
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Announcements
|
|
|
|
The cpr project has new maintainers: [Fabian Sauter](https://github.com/com8) and [Tim Stack](https://github.com/tstack).
|
|
|
|
## TLDR
|
|
|
|
C++ Requests is a simple wrapper around [libcurl](http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl) inspired by the excellent [Python Requests](https://github.com/kennethreitz/requests) project.
|
|
|
|
Despite its name, libcurl's easy interface is anything but, and making mistakes misusing it is a common source of error and frustration. Using the more expressive language facilities of C++11, this library captures the essence of making network calls into a few concise idioms.
|
|
|
|
Here's a quick GET request:
|
|
|
|
```c++
|
|
#include <cpr/cpr.h>
|
|
|
|
int main(int argc, char** argv) {
|
|
cpr::Response r = cpr::Get(cpr::Url{"https://api.github.com/repos/whoshuu/cpr/contributors"},
|
|
cpr::Authentication{"user", "pass"},
|
|
cpr::Parameters{{"anon", "true"}, {"key", "value"}});
|
|
r.status_code; // 200
|
|
r.header["content-type"]; // application/json; charset=utf-8
|
|
r.text; // JSON text string
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
And here's [less functional, more complicated code, without cpr](https://gist.github.com/whoshuu/2dc858b8730079602044).
|
|
|
|
## Documentation
|
|
|
|
[](https://whoshuu.github.io/cpr/)
|
|
You can find the latest documentation [here](https://whoshuu.github.io/cpr). It's a work in progress, but it should give you a better idea of how to use the library than the [tests](https://github.com/whoshuu/cpr/tree/master/test) currently do.
|
|
|
|

|

|
|
* Basic authentication
|
|

|
|
* Digest authentication
|
|
* NTLM authentication
|
|

* PATCH methods
|
|
* Thread Safe access to [libCurl](https://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/threadsafe.html)
|
|
* OpenSSL and WinSSL support for HTTPS requests
|
|
|
|
## Planned
|
|
|
|
For a quick overview about the planed features, have a look at the next [Milestones](https://github.com/whoshuu/cpr/milestones).
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
If you already have a project you need to integrate C++ Requests with, the primary way is to use CMake `fetch_content`.
|
|
Add the following to your `CMakeLists.txt`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
```cmake
|
|
include(FetchContent)
|
|
FetchContent_Declare(cpr GIT_REPOSITORY https://github.com/whoshuu/cpr.git GIT_TAG c8d33915dbd88ad6c92b258869b03aba06587ff9) # the commit hash for 1.5.0
|
|
FetchContent_MakeAvailable(cpr)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This will produce the target `cpr::cpr` which you can link against the typical way:
|
|
|
|
```cmake
|
|
target_link_libraries(your_target_name PRIVATE cpr::cpr)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
That should do it!
|
|
There's no need to handle `libcurl` yourself. All dependencies are taken care of for you.
|
|
|
|
## Requirements
|
|
|
|
The only explicit requirements are:
|
|
|
|
* a `C++11` compatible compiler such as Clang or GCC. The minimum required version of GCC is unknown, so if anyone has trouble building this library with a specific version of GCC, do let me know
|
|
* If you would like to perform https requests `OpenSSL` and its development libraries are required.

## Building cpr - Using vcpkg
|
|
|
|
You can download and install cpr using the [vcpkg](https://github.com/Microsoft/vcpkg) dependency manager:
|
|
```Bash
|
|
git clone https://github.com/Microsoft/vcpkg.git
|
|
cd vcpkg
|
|
./bootstrap-vcpkg.sh
|
|
./vcpkg integrate install
|
|
./vcpkg install cpr
|
|
```
|
|
The `cpr` port in vcpkg is kept up to date by Microsoft team members and community contributors. If the version is out of date, please [create an issue or pull request](https://github.com/Microsoft/vcpkg) on the vcpkg repository.
|
|
|
|
## Building cpr - Using Conan
|
|
|
|
You can download and install `cpr` using the [Conan](https://conan.io/) package manager. Setup your CMakeLists.txt (see [Conan documentation](https://docs.conan.io/en/latest/integrations/build_system.html) on how to use MSBuild, Meson and others) like this:
|
|
|
|
```CMake
|
|
project(myproject CXX)
|
|
|
|
add_executable(${PROJECT_NAME} main.cpp)
|
|
|
|
include(${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/conanbuildinfo.cmake) # Include Conan-generated file
|
|
conan_basic_setup(TARGETS) # Introduce Conan-generated targets
|
|
|
|
target_link_libraries(${PROJECT_NAME} CONAN_PKG::cpr)
|
|
```
|
|
Create `conanfile.txt` in your source dir:
|
|
```
|
|
[requires]
|
|
cpr/1.5.0
|
|
|
|
[generators]
|
|
cmake
|
|
```
|
|
Install and run Conan, then build your project as always:
|
|
|
|
```Bash
|
|
pip install conan
|
|
mkdir build
|
|
cd build
|
|
conan install ../ --build=missing
|
|
cmake ../
|
|
cmake --build .
|
|
```
|
|
The `cpr` package in Conan is kept up to date by Conan contributors. If the version is out of date, please [create an issue or pull request](https://github.com/conan-io/conan-center-index) on the `conan-center-index` repository.
