/**
* example C code using libcurl and json-c
*
* Requirements:
*
* json-c - https://github.com/json-c/json-c
* libcurl - http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c
*
* Build:
* Note that you will need to edit the code with your own HoD API key
*
* cc curltest.c -lcurl -ljson-c -o curltest
*
* Run:
*
* ./curltest
