curlpp VS libcurl

You need to use a library that does the heavy lifting for you, that stuff is quite complex. You can use a library like libcurl: https://curl.se/libcurl/c/ However that is a C library, and probably it maybe easier for you to use a C++ wrapper around the C library: https://github.com/jpbarrette/curlpp You can also cheat and use the command line tool directly calling it using system, with all the limitations of launching a separate process.

You need to fetch the data from those URLs in order to be able to display them. I'd consider something like curlpp, maybe? That's a C++ wrapper around libcurl.

What does this bring to the table that Curlpp doesn't?

Spotify in C++ is a bit more difficult than normal because it doesn't have an already existing C++ API. Instead, it has an HTTP API, which means you're going to have to write C++ code that sends HTTP requests. You'll probably want to use some variant of cURL to handle sending the HTTP requests.

You could use curlpp https://github.com/jpbarrette/curlpp, which is a c++ wrapper over libcurl’s C API.

Then, in another terminal window, we use curl to hit the endpoint:

Through the Fast Forward program, we give free services and support to open source projects and the nonprofits that support them. We support many of the world’s top programming languages (like Python, Rust, Ruby, and the wonderful Scratch), foundational technologies (cURL, the Linux kernel, Kubernetes, OpenStreetMap), and projects that make the internet better and more fun for everyone (Inkscape, Mastodon, Electronic Frontier Foundation, Terms of Service; Didn’t Read).

From the GitHub Issue itself, the maintainer did end up creating a PR to fix a related issue: https://github.com/curl/curl/issues/12983

Also, the bot filed another issue despite the complaints.

This Docker image is designed to support implementing Github Actions with Python. As of version 4.0.0., it starts with the official python docker image as the base which is a Debian OS. It specifically uses python:3-slim to keep the image size down for faster loading of Github Actions that use pyaction. On top of the base, we've installed curl gpg, git, and the GitHub CLI. We added curl and gpg because they are needed to install the GitHub CLI, and they may come in handy anyway (especially curl) when implementing a GitHub Action.
