API CALLS

[goodmanjl531]

I have search around in the forums, but not being very well versed in API calls makes it difficult to figure out what im really looking for so any help will be greatly appreciated.

 

I need to make a call to the API URL and get the reply back and drop it into a text file.

if i put the url in a webbrowser with the key i can get a respsonse, but not sure how to get this into a text file  web response looks like this

 

I only want the data...

I have a URL and an authorization key but not having any luck...

 

expandcollapse popup

get_authentication_test()

Func get_authentication_test()
    Local $oHttp   = Null, _
          $oComErr = Null

    Local $iHttpStatus = 0

    Local $sResponse = "", _
          $sPostData = ""


    ConsoleWrite(@CRLF & "Executing API" & @CRLF)

    ;Set COM error handler
    $oComErr = ObjEvent("AutoIT.Error", "com_error_handler")

    ;Create a HTTP COM object
    $oHttp = ObjCreate("winhttp.winhttprequest.5.1")
    If @error Then
        ConsoleWrite("Unable to create http request object." & @CRLF)
        Exit -1
    EndIf
    ConsoleWrite("WinHttpRequest object created." & @CRLF)

    With $oHttp
        ;Open GET request
        .Open("GET", "https://.flowgear.net/CLIST4", False)

        ;Set request headers and options
        .SetRequestHeader("Content-Type", "application/json")

        ;Send request
         
        ;.Send('{"username":"admin","password":"123","clientId":"AUTOIT_TEST","clientSecret":"E5AE290AB76A4B1E"}')   original 
        
        .Send('{"clientSecret":"AUTHKEYHERE"}')
        If @error Then
            ConsoleWrite(StringFormat("SEND ERROR: (0x%X) %s", $oComErr.Number, $oComErr.Description) & @CRLF)
            Return
        EndIf

        ;Get status code and response
        $iHttpStatus = .Status
        $sResponse   = .ResponseText

        ;If status code isn't okay
        If $iHttpStatus <> 200 Then
            ConsoleWrite("HTTP Status  : " & String($iHttpStatus) & @CRLF)
            ConsoleWrite("HTTP Response: " & @CRLF & $sResponse & @CRLF)
            Return
        EndIf
    EndWith

    ConsoleWrite("API Response:" & @CRLF & $sResponse & @CRLF)
EndFunc

Func com_error_handler($oError)
    #forceref $oError

What do you get in the console after you run the script? Do you have any response from the server?

.Open("GET", "https://.flowgear.net/CLIST4", False)

Also this link doesn't look right starting with a dot. Please be sure you use the proper API link.

i was able to get it figured out..

 

#include <Inet.au3>
#include <json.au3>

$url = "https://.flowgear.net/CLIST1?auth-key=<AUTHKEYHERE>"
$data = _INetGetSource($url)
$json = _JSON_Parse($data)
$text = _JSON_Get($json, 'Data')
ConsoleWrite($text)
