Can I use C++ to work on Twitter API?

I am very excited to start working on Twitter API. I have looked about this on the web but I am unable to understand why most links talk about using PHP, Javascript or C# only. Since I know C and C++ only, can I use these languages? If not, then why?

Solution

  • Here are some C++ APIs for twitter:

    • kQOAuth by Johan Paul – a Qt based OAuth Library
    • libOAuth by Robin Gareus – a collection of POSIX-C functions implementing OAuth
    • QTweetLib by Toni Jovanoski – a Qt based Twitter API library
    • Twitcurl by Mahesh – a Twitter API library

    (from https://dev.twitter.com/docs/twitter-libraries#cplusplus)

    And you can always use the REST API from almost any language, which ist just a bunch of HTTP calls. You can do that for example with libcurl.
