[Ftpapi] HTTP XML



 

All,

                So we have been using the HTTP to grab XML and parse it without any problems.  Now we have a 3rd party that we will need to call their API and return JSON.  Now I know this is not a support for JSON but the calling of the API should be the same I would think.  Just returning a different format.  ( I have called a different  API to return the JSON the same way below and could parse it but the 3rd party “calling” is different. It was an entirely different 3rd party that was on the web for free to test.)

So a basic way we always use the XML is like this. ( used an example program )

 

url = '';

filename = http_tempfile() + '.xml';                       

rc = http_url_get( url : filename );                       

etc……..

 

Now the 3rd party says we cannot pass a request through a URL like this.

Here is the 3rd party website ( https://www.samsara.com/api )

We have to pass some “parameters” or a “data” file.  I’m not sure how to do this in the HTTP examples.

 

Any pointers or pushing me in to the right direction would be great.  I’m close I think but maybe just don’t understand it in my head.

 

Thanks again for all your help.
