Gettin plain text from website - (Moved)

[TrashBoat]

Im having trouble getting raw data from this api website, instead it prompts me to download the whole .json file.

Can i somehow just read the webpage and just store the data without downloading it?

#include <IE.au3>

$src = "https://rsbuddy.com/exchange/summary.json"

$oIE = _IECreate($src,0,1,1,0)

$data = _IEDocReadHTML($oIE)

MsgBox(0,0,$data)

_IEQuit($oIE)

Have you tried using InetRead instead?

[TrashBoat]

I have not? I cant find "INetRead" in the function list.

Nvm ive found it the point is i dont want to download it i just want the raw data.

[Danp2]

Hence my suggestion to use INetRead.

Take the example in the help file, modify it with your URL and then run it.

[TrashBoat]

$data = BinaryToString(InetRead($webpage))

I accidentally passed the IE object instead of the link my bad. Thanks it worked!
