Introduction:
twitcurl is a pure C++ library for twitter APIs. twitcurl uses cURL library for handling HTTP requests and responses. twitcurl has been tested on Microsoft Windows operating systems, although it works/should work fine on many other operating systems that has/support cURL.
Currently twitcurl has wrappers for following twitter REST APIs:

Help needed?
See wiki section of this project page for information related to building and using twitCurl library.
Note:
twitcurl returns the HTTP responses from twitter.com as it is (i.e. in XML format). You need to have an XML parser such as Xerces (http://xerces.apache.org/xerces-c/) to parse the responses.
Example:
An example twitter client program using twitcurl as a static library is available in the "Downloads" section.
