HTTP Request with body - JoseJimenez94 - 23.03.2020
Hi everyone,
I'm doing a little script to make a post request to an API. The form that this request should take is attached in the image.
My code in LUA is:
Code:
require 'ltn12'
require('json')
http = require('socket.http')
http.TIMEOUT = 5
local url = 'http://192.168.0.163:3000/api/v1/hvac'
local response_body = {}
local body, code, hdrs, stat = http.request
{
url = url;
method = "POST";
headers =
{
["Content-Type"] = "application/json";
};
sink = ltn12.sink.table(response_body);
}
log ( code, response_body)Code:
* arg: 1
* number: 500
* arg: 2
* table:
[1]
* string: {"errors":[{"error":"request malformed"}]}I know I also have to enter a request body for the request to be complete, but when i try to enter it in the script i don't get any log. I've been looking in the help section of LUA, but i can't get it out. Somebody can help me?

Here's an example i use for a Dutch weather API with JSON. This might help you.
--Source: http://weerlive.nl/delen.php
city = 'Amsterdam' --Vul hier de plaatsnaam in.
require('ssl.https')
require('json')
data = ssl.https.request('http://weerlive.nl/api/json-10min.php?locatie=' ..city)
datatable = json.pdecode(data)
datatable = datatable['liveweer'][1]
log(datatable)
city = datatable.plaats
log('Plaats: ' ..city)

You need to provide content-length header and source string (which can be empty). See this post for an example: https://forum.logicmachine.net/showthread.php?tid=1786&pid=11098#pid11098
