I am having problems with oauth. Let me start by saying that I have only been studying C++ for about a month. I am working on a Etrade API application. I have been struggling with this for a few weeks. Ok Etrade has provided the header, DLL and library files. I am having trouble just calling a simple function. Etrade list examples on how to call a Function for Java, and PHP but no C++. I just need a example for one function and I can pretty much go from there. here is a link to the API help https://us.etrade.com/ctnt/dev-portal/getContent?contentUri=V0_Code-SDKGuides-VC

the arguments for the first function are

m_environment IN Optional. Possible values are SANDBOX (default) and LIVE. 
m_strConsumerKey IN OAuth consumer key provided by E*TRADE 
m_strConsumerSecret IN OAuth consumer secret provided by E*TRADE 
m_strToken OUT Returned by the function if successful
m_strTokenSecret OUT Returned by the function if successful 
m_strCallback IN Optional; default value is "oob"

Here is my code first function (oauth)

int main(int argc, char **argv) 
{
}
bool COAuthSDK::GetRequestToken(CClientDetails &objClientDetails)
{
  return GetRequestToken;
}

You're missing the point. ETrade provides you with COAuthSDK::GetRequestToken; You're supposed to call it, not re-implement it yourself. The m_ arguments are members of the CClientDetails object that you, as the client, have to provide.

Just a heads up. The Authorize URL in the docs(v0) is wrong! Doh! If you are having problems with that step, try the following URL.

Here is the correct URL: https://us.etrade.com/e/t/etws/authorize

Notice there is an additional 't' in the URL

BTW, I wrote a simple Node app called Trading Robo Monkey. If you have never used OAuth before, you can try to see if that was your problem by looking at the JS code
