GET request

[a455115]

Hello colleagues!

Sorry if I'm repeating a topic, but I didn't find what I needed in the search engine.

I need to submit GET request with Bearer authentication token and then get the values which are in JSON format. The values are times and dates that I need to store and compare until the time comes and executes a scene - what is the best practice for this? And how to send the request with token?

Use this to get JSON data, change token and url as needed:

Code:

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

token = 'ABCDEF'
url = 'https://httpbin.org/get'

resp = {}

res, code = http.request({
  url = url,
  method = 'GET',
  headers = {
    authorization = 'Bearer ' .. token,
  },
  sink = ltn12.sink.table(resp),
})

resp = table.concat(resp)
resp = json.pdecode(resp)

log(resp)

You can store time/value pairs in storage and use a scheduled script that checks if any event should run once a minute.

Works great! Thanks admin!

 How do I store the data in the storage?

Thank you very much admin. As always everything works.
Since I have the end keyword in the table and lua recognizes it as end - log(resp.value[1].end.dateTime), how do I change it to work?

[admin]

Use ['end']

Use ['end']

Where am I wrong?


log(resp.value[1].['end'].dateTime)

Lua syntax error at line 26: '<name>' expected near '['

Dot is not needed when using square brackets:

Code:

log(resp.value[1]['end'].dateTime)
