how to code using API?

[srohit24]

I want to contact a website, that has inbuilt API's.

What all should I learn before coding?

For example i need to use Twitter API and get the updates from my account, how can this be done??

thanks

I have seen the page, but it wasnt much use as i do not know the basics about API;s and coding it in Qt.

It would be of much help if someone can assist me

There are links to some libraries on that page, there's a library written in C++ that uses Qt, check out the code:
