This path helps C++ developers master API interactions with httplib—from basic HTTP requests to authentication and automated testing. You'll cover REST APIs, API keys, JWT, sessions, and gtest, gaining the skills to build secure, reliable API integrations in C++.
In this course, you will learn how to interact with APIs using C++. By the end of this course, you’ll understand how to make GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, and DELETE requests to an API, interpret API responses, and perform basic operations like creating, reading, updating, and deleting resources.
