Using Qt Framework create an API call in c++ class - c++

Question

I am new to the Qt Framework and I have to implement an API call to Login the users. I created an ApiManager class where I want to create only the calls that the app will use, so that they are accessible from C++ classes and also the QML.
I created a local function that simulates a login, but I want to implement the real API call now. I just don't know how to implement it and what kind of libraries I have to import or include.
Header file apimanager.h
#ifndef APIMANAGER_H
#define APIMANAGER_H
#include <QObject>
class ApiManager : public QObject
{
Q_OBJECT
Q_ENUMS(UserLevel)
public:
enum UserLevel {
UL_Unknown = 0,
UL_Master = 1,
UL_Administrator = 2,
UL_Operator = 3
};
explicit ApiManager(QObject *parent = nullptr);
signals:
void loginComplete(bool logged, UserLevel userLevel);
public slots:
void login(QString serverAddress, QString username, QString
password);
};
#endif // APIMANAGER_H
Class apimanager.cpp
#include "apimanager.h"
#include <QDebug>
ApiManager::ApiManager(QObject *parent) : QObject(parent)
{
}
void ApiManager::login(QString serverAddress, QString username,
QString password)
{
qDebug() << "loggin into" << serverAddress << "with user" <<
username;
bool logged = false;
UserLevel ul = UserLevel::UL_Unknown;
if (username=="master" && password=="123") {
logged = true;
ul = UserLevel::UL_Master;
} else if (username=="admin" && password=="123") {
logged = true;
ul = UserLevel::UL_Administrator;
} else if (username=="operator" && password=="123") {
logged = true;
ul = UserLevel::UL_Operator;
}
emit loginComplete(logged, ul);
}
If anyone can tell me how to write an API call with a similar structure of my "fake" login function I'll be thankful.
Thanks to all

#Marco,
Here is the skeletal Http request response example.
It is using Network classes from Qt to send the request and receive the response for the same.
