LiveCode Forums.

Thanks for your help. Fiddler pointed me to a temporary redirect that none of the applications or browsers were showing me. Once I saw the redirect, it was an easy fix to the URI to prevent it.

Now I just have to figure out how to properly include the json library.

Thanks All. I'll pursue using Fiddler to try and unravel the error. With the information in the last post I feel confident LiveCode can do what I need it to. I'll post as soon as I have more relevant information.

Figured I'd go ahead and post my reply without the included code as some setting on the forum is preventing that post.

I have multiple lower-level code sets accessing the API currently in ASP(dot)net, Swift and c# with no issue. For example, the API is used in c# and ASP(dot)net using a standard ...

Thanks for the reply.

I'm trying to get a reply posted, but am having issues with the BB accepting the post. I have a note into the Forum administrator currently.

I went ahead and tried to use the binary method for getting the data, but still no luck. :(

Here is the code I tried:


on mouseUp
if the text of field txtPIN is empty then
answer "I couldn't see a PIN number for you. Give it another try."
else
put "APIURL/checksecurity?pin=" & the text of ...

No problem Bangkok

You are correct, the return is a binary stream "octet-stream". Is this an issue in LiveCode?

I do have Web, Windows Forms and iOS Apps working with the API currently so I didn't really see it as an issue.

Thanks again to all responders.

Thank you for the reply Sparkout.

This site does not use authentication as it simply a testing site used for RAD proof of concept. I will definitely remember to look at that for production however.

Thanks to all responders.

mweider is correct, the "APIUrl" is just to hide the actual URL of the web service.

I have set the http headers to your suggestion bangkok, but to no avail. Still not getting a response string into the variable, just the "no headers" error referenced initially in this ...

Thanks for the reply mweider.

I realized after reading your response, I should have listed what gets returned from the call:

PIN invalid:

{"Response":"Not Found"}


PIN valid:

{"GlobalId":"E2411D32BFAB4A578E90C65056EB19AC","UserName":"Britany","PIN":"1","Location ...

I'm trying to work with a restful API that returns JSON, but I'm getting the error referenced in the subject. The code i have is:


put "APIURL?pin=" && the text of field txtPIN into tAPIReq
replace " " with "" in tAPIReq
put URL tAPIReq into tJsonResp
put the result in theError


In this case ...
