FAQ - Rakete1111/stackcpp GitHub Wiki

Where is the documentation?

The majority of the library is not documented for a simple reason: The documentation already exists for the StackExchange API! In reality, the function names for the requests are very similar (if not the same) for the method name used in the API docs. The returned objects are also documented there.

You can find the documentation for the StackExchange API here.

How can I get an API key?

You get read the StackApps on How do API keys work? to learn how do that.

How can I authenticate my application to access a user's private info?

As of right now, stackcpp doesn't support authentication, and due to the nature and requirements, it is not likely that it will ever work properly. You can read the authentication page to learn how to do it.
