Examples/Qcodo-preferred way to use 3rd-party api's?

I am using curl to post to third-party web-services and receive a response in XML.

I am wondering if there are features  in Qcodo which will simplify this or examples of how this is done that does any kind of leverage to simplify this process or put it into the best-practice of the framework.

An example call would be to:

https://api.cloudsponge.com/begin_import/desktop_applet.json?service=ADDRESSBOO
K&user_id=myUserId_0003&echo=echo123&domain_key=33664218758c5244136965160db455d
b012b1411&domain_password=Tpa01z+vVPE7MxXi

This would return an XML formatted response.

Thanks.

I wouldn't think this is specifically a “qcodo-way” type of question... but it's more that (and this is similar in respect to some of the architecture-related questions that you have had in the past) I would recommend staying with an “OO-way” of architecture.

So the answer is -- it depends.  Where does this kind of CURL call lie within the functionality of the overall architecture of your application?  Is it a service that you intend on running application-wide?  If so, then you might want this kind of functionality in QApplication.

Or alternatively, is there something specifically that you are doing with the XML?  e.g. if you are parsing out the values and updating a data class object, then the code would be much better in that particular data class within a method like RefreshFromCloudSponge() or something like that.

Hope that helps.

I've never actually used curl or this plugin, so I don't really know the answers. You can look at the first link for a usage example, and the source code for full details.
