Splitwise C++ API

GitHub Workflow Status (branch) Codecov

GitHub repo size

A native C++ API for the Splitwise App. Written in C++14.

Tested in Linux.

⚠️ This library is in beta phase. All APIs are implemented but corner-cases might not be tested. Use at your own risk. ⚠️

Quick Start

#include <iostream>
#include <cassert>
#include <splitwisecpp/splitwisecpp.h>

int main()
{
    splitwisecpp::Config config;
    config.consumer_key = "your_consumer_key";
    config.consumer_secret = "your_consumer_secret";
    config.oauth1_token = "your_oauth1_token";
    config.oauth1_token_secret = "your_oauth1_token_secret";
    splitwisecpp::Splitwise splitwise(config);

    splitwisecpp::ApiResponse the_user = splitwise.get_current_user();
    assert(spliwisecpp::ErrorCodes::NoError = the_user.error);
    std::cout << the_user.json["user"]["first_name"] << std::endl;
}

Requirements

Additional components if you want to develop this:

  • C++ compiler that supports C++14 (preferably gcc or clang)
  • CMake
  • gcovr, for code coverage
  • clang-format, for code formatting
  • clang-tidy, for static analysis
  • Python 3.6
  • Python Jinja2

GTest will be automatically downloaded from GitHub if you don't have it pre-installed.

Features

  • Authentication using OAuth1 tokens. Please read the Splitwise docs to learn more.
  • (As of 26 May 2020) Implemented all the APIs described in Splitwise's developer documentation.
  • Exports public types from jsoncpp

Limitations

  • Thread-unsafe. The splitwisecpp::Splitwise class must be instantiated in one thread.

Backlog

  • Allow C linkage
  • Allow replacement of libcurl via plugins
  • Support OAuth2
  • Support for Windows (ie Win32)
  • Extra tools for:
    • OAuth1 generation
    • Command line interface
  • API documentation

For Developers

Add new API methods in src/api_method_descriptors.yaml (the schema is in the comments). Then run tools/generate_cpp_api_from_descriptor to generate interfaces and implementation code.

You may use pipenv to install a virtual environment.
