I did this:

I made this code and got an error: invalid application of 'sizeof' to incomplete type 'QNetworkReply'
Q_STATIC_ASSERT_X(sizeof(T), "Type argument of Q_DECLARE_METATYPE(T*) must be fully defined");

MainWindow::MainWindow(QWidget *parent) :
    QMainWindow(parent),
    ui(new Ui::MainWindow)
{
    ui->setupUi(this);

    connect(apiQuery, &QNetworkAccessManager::finished, this, &MainWindow::testSlotFromQDebug);
}

MainWindow::~MainWindow()
{
    delete ui;
}

void MainWindow::on_testButton_clicked()
{
    QNetworkRequest request;
    request.setUrl(QUrl("https://www.alphavantage.co/query?function=TIME_SERIES_INTRADAY&symbol=MSFT&interval=5min&apikey=demo"));

    apiQuery->get(request);
}

void MainWindow::testSlotFromQDebug()
{
    qDebug()<<"point1";
}

This should help:

#include <QNetworkReply>

Thanks, earned. I receive a response signal. But theoretically, a json file should come in response to the request. Please tell me how you can open the response data, read it, and then delete it if it is not deleted by itself.

@Mikeeeeee Internet searching is your friend... maybe this example could help you.

Mikeeeeee

This example is not working.

delete connect(apiQuery, &QNetworkAccessManager::finished, this, &MainWindow::testSlotFromQDebug);

then:

void MainWindow::on_testButton_clicked()
{
    QNetworkRequest request;
    request.setUrl(QUrl("https://www.alphavantage.co/query?function=TIME_SERIES_INTRADAY&symbol=MSFT&interval=5min&apikey=demo"));
QNetworkReply* reply = apiQuery->get(request)
    connect(reply ,&QNetworkReply::finished,this,std::bind(&MainWindow::on_reply,this,reply ));
}
void MainWindow::on_reply(QNetworkReply* reply){
QJsonDocument jdoc = QJsonDocument::fromJson(reply->readAll());
// do something with the jdoc
}

Qt says: qt.network.ssl: QSslSocket::connectToHostEncrypted: TLS initialization failed
I have api-key: 63YUZ8NP5SW1D302
How can I use the key?

Make sure you have OpenSSL installed

OpenSSL

This link is nothing about OpenSSL.
OpenSSL need to connect to the project?

VRonin

Qt uses OpenSSL to implement TLS and SSL

I installed everything in MaintenanceTool. Do I need to download additional OpenSSL?
If you need to install OpenSSL, then how to connect it to Qt?

What OS are you on ? My guess would be Windows.

My OS - Windows.

Mikeeeeee

downloaded openssl-1.1.1b and put it in the folder with the executable file. Did not help.
In openssl-1.1.1b there is no libeay32.dll.

Mikeeeeee

There is a file e_os.h in the main folder of the library .

SGaist

What version of Qt are you using ?

Terrible idea

Mikeeeeee

I use Qt 5.12.2

SGaist

Then try again with the latest version of the 1.0 series.
