filter_spirit VS curlpp

While I do like projects like this in this case I think I like the way filter spirit solved it more. I can do something like:

This looks like a great collection of ideas, many of which I have already implemented in my own filter-generating tool (which compared to yours is more advanced on the internal feature side but has basic CLI + terrible UI). I think we could collaborate to create something together (I could already mention many possible features - poe.ninja-based generation, filter template description language, color/strictness presets). I have large amounts of notes from working with filters (many not published on my github project).

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.
