👨🏻‍💻 Usage Example

Here is a simple example of how to use the library to make an HTTP GET request to the Binance API

#include <Connexus/Http/HttpClient.mqh>

void OnStart()
  {
   //--- Creates request/order/response objects
   CHttpClient client;
   CHttpRequest request;
   CHttpResponse response;

   //--- Defines the method used and URL
   request.Request(HTTP_METHOD_GET,"https://api.binance.com/api/v3/avgPrice?symbol=BTCUSDT");
   
   //--- Check if the request was made successfully
   if(client.Send(request,response))
     {
      //--- Print results
      Print("REQUEST  | ",request.Method().HttpMethodsDescription()," - ",request.Url().Serialize());
      Print("RESPONSE | ",response.Body().Serialize());
     }
  }

REQUEST  | GET - https://api.binance.com:443/api/v3/avgPrice?symbol=BTCUSDT
RESPONSE | {"mins":5,"price":"45358.93311660","closeTime":1707438768533}
