API Get help

[Novodk]

I'm trying to get some data from an API, I managed to connect to the API and get the result in the log, but I'm having trouble understanding how to add the data to virtual group addresses.

Code:

http = require('socket.http')
ltn12 = require('ltn12')

res, code = http.request({
url = 'https://horsensvej.rokum.ro/api/v1/entries?token=https%3A%2F%2Fhorsensvej.rokum.ro%2F%3Ftoken%3Dknx-2e4b5b25355f26bb',
method = 'GET',
})
log(res, code)

The result I get in log is:

Code:

* arg: 1
  * string: "2023-11-27T21:26:49.676Z"    1701120409676    219    "SingleUp"    "xDrip-LimiTTer"
"2023-11-27T21:21:49.215Z"    1701120109215    207    "SingleUp"    "xDrip-LimiTTer"

* arg: 2
  * number: 200

What now? I need to get the data sorted or something? 
I would prefer NOT to get the result, but some pointers so I can understand/learn it.

The data looks tab-separated. This code will split the data into separate lines and then each line into separate items.

Code:

lines = data:split('\n')
for _, line in ipairs(lines) do
  items = line:split('\t')
  log(items)
end

Okay, I have had some time to look at this again, and I admit I need more help.
The code you provided put the data into separate items, that I should be able to put in group addresses with the grp.checkupdate, but I can't get it working!

Post your full script and describe what exactly you want to achieve.

Post your full script and describe what exactly you want to achieve.

Code:

http = require('socket.http')
ltn12 = require('ltn12')

res, code = http.request({
url = 'https://horsensvej.rokum.ro/api/v1/entries?token=https%3A%2F%2Fhorsensvej.rokum.ro%2F%3Ftoken%3Dknx-2e4b5b25355f26bb',
method = 'GET',
})
log(res, code)

That is working, and the code you provided:

Code:

lines = data:split('\n')
for _, line in ipairs(lines) do
  items = line:split('\t')
  log(items)
end

But whatever I do I get a:

Code:

api 29.01.2024 12:55:29
Resident script:9: attempt to index global 'data' (a nil value)
stack traceback:

I want to put each segment into its own group address, Date, rawvalue, value, direction and CGM

Code:

"2023-11-27T21:26:49.676Z"    1701120409676    219    "SingleUp"    "xDrip-LimiTTer"

Try this:

Code:

res, code = require('socket.http').request({
url = 'https://horsensvej.rokum.ro/api/v1/entries?token=https%3A%2F%2Fhorsensvej.rokum.ro%2F%3Ftoken%3Dknx-2e4b5b25355f26bb',
method = 'GET',
})

if not res then
  log('request failed', code)
  return
end

lines = res:split('\n')
items = lines[ 1 ]:trim():split('\t')

for i, item in ipairs(items) do
  items[ i ] = item:gsub('^"(.*)"$', '%1')
end

grp.checkupdate('1/1/1', items[ 1 ])
grp.checkupdate('1/1/2', items[ 2 ])
grp.checkupdate('1/1/3', items[ 3 ])
grp.checkupdate('1/1/4', items[ 4 ])
grp.checkupdate('1/1/5', items[ 5 ])

Try this:

Code:

res, code = require('socket.http').request({
url = 'https://horsensvej.rokum.ro/api/v1/entries?token=https%3A%2F%2Fhorsensvej.rokum.ro%2F%3Ftoken%3Dknx-2e4b5b25355f26bb',
method = 'GET',
})

if not res then
  log('request failed', code)
  return
end

lines = res:split('\n')
items = lines[ 1 ]:trim():split('\t')

for i, item in ipairs(items) do
  items[ i ] = item:gsub('^"(.*)"$', '%1')
end

grp.checkupdate('1/1/1', items[ 1 ])
grp.checkupdate('1/1/2', items[ 2 ])
grp.checkupdate('1/1/3', items[ 3 ])
grp.checkupdate('1/1/4', items[ 4 ])
grp.checkupdate('1/1/5', items[ 5 ])

Works like a charm, as always.

How would you go about changing the first item, that I assume is time/date in ISO 8601, to 3 byte time /day?

[admin]

Use this:

Code:

datetime = items[ 1 ]
year, month, day, hour, minute, second = datetime:match('(%d+)%-(%d+)%-(%d+)T(%d+):(%d+):(%d+)')

date = { year = year, month = month, day = day }
time = { hour = hour, minute = minute, second = second }

grp.checkupdate('0/0/1', date)
grp.checkupdate('0/0/2', time)
