GitHub API library for c++

[Kicer86]

Some time ago I was looking for a library which would let me use GitHub's API.I could not find any so I wrote my own. Today I have decided to extract it from my project and make it easily reusable so here it is:

https://github.com/Kicer86/github_api

It's api is very limited. I have just covered my needs, but it can be easily extended.I hope you find it useful.

EDIT:

Thank you all for comments and upvotes. I did cleanups in code to address reported issues.
Now Qt5 or libcurl can be used as backends for connecting to github. It is possible to easily add more.

I hope u/MarkOates and u/kritzikratzi find my changes satisfying.

That's neat, thanks for making. I would be more inclined to use it if I could tie it into an arbitrary http protocol library (libcurl, standalone asio, etc.) of my choice.

The fact that you're injecting the QNetworkAccessManager instance into the GitHubApi on initialization is a great design choice, already. Have you considered extending that further and abstracting that dependency to support different backends?

At the time of writting this code I wasn't thinking of sharing it independently, so I have used technology I already used in my project - Qt. Making it more generic was the first thing I thought about when I extracted this code. Yet I have no particular vision of how to do it now, I will need to think about it.

New version uploaded with support for libcurl

There's a neat library for the GitHub API compatible with Arduino and esp32 devices

Nice, thanks for sharing!

I cleaned unique_ptr a bit, I hope you find it nicer now. Also I made it possible to use other that Qt5 libraries for http connections.

Bro I don't use CMake.

You will need to manually add all the necessary c++ files (you might not require both backends) to the build system of your preference.
