OpenTTD NewGRF WebRequests [closed] - Person Holding Raw Meat on Orange Table

As part of a university project, I'd like to connect certain events like

  • cargo unloaded
  • cargo transfered
  • money received

with a custom made service / send HTTP Web Requests from within OpenTTD. I'm still rather confused about the languages used to create newgrfs. As far as I understand, for NewGRFs, the language of choice is NML which is a custom built language built ontop of python.

My questions now are

  • Is my plan doable?
  • Is it possible to use a well-known language to connect to openttd such as C, C++ or Python?
