Connect to Twitter streaming api

[jack07]

Hello,
I'm new to programming and for the most parts I don't have idea on what I'm doing but i would like to know if it's relatively easy to connect to twitter streaming API using QT.

I had success connecting following the example bellow, using libraries like curl, liboauth and openssl but i would like to make everything is QT since it's more thread safe and maybe easier to implement in a gui.

I tried looking on how it works in the example above and appling to QT but it gets pretty indepth and i got lost. I don't really understand the oauth flow, what tools to use and how. I also don't know if QNetworkAccessManager can do this since it's async and for twitter streaming api i need a continuous call.

From what i've read it's not necessary to implement the full oauth, just the part where i make the signed request, but i don't know: https://developer.twitter.com/en/docs/basics/authentication/guides/single-user

So is this doable for someone new to programming, any examples or tips to get me started?

This is in fact one of Qt's examples: https://doc.qt.io/qt-5.10/qtnetworkauth-twittertimeline-example.html

I saw it and i though it won't work with the streaming API.
Thanks, I will look into it.
