Code API
resource_retriever has an extremely simple C++ API, consisting of two classes and one method.
The resource_retriever::Retriever class is the gateway into downloading files. Its get() method returns a resource_retriever::MemoryResource which contains the file in memory.
The Retrieving Files tutorial details how to use both classes.
resource_retriever also has a very similar Python API.
