How to connect via API?

[Pablo J. Rogina]

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

[Mikeeeeee]

This example is not working.

[VRonin]

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

@VRonin said in How to connect via API?:

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.

[Mikeeeeee]

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.

[Mikeeeeee]

I downloaded openssl-1.0.2r. There is no bin folder. No .exe files. No libeay32.dll. What to do with it?

[Mikeeeeee]

I downloaded libeay32.dll ssleay32.dll and put them to the executable file and the project, but it still does not work.

[SGaist]

Still the same error or another one ?
