ChuckNorris (Pulling Data using HTTPRequests)

[Daniel Kaminski]

tolly random and useless but fun

make a function that is called ChuckNorris

Code: Select all

var str = ""
var msg = "https://api.chucknorris.io/jokes/random"
HTTPRequestToVar(msg,"str","GET","application/json")
var response = str.ToJson

return response.Get("value").ToString


you can now always get a ChuckNorris Joke by assigning it.

label1.text = ChuckNorris

Pretty simple example, thank you!
But why it doesn't work for me... help me please

screen: https://drive.google.com/file/d/10x6I45 ... sp=sharing

code:
Label1.Text = "get response..."
var str = ""
var msg = "https://api.chucknorris.io/jokes/random"
HTTPRequestToVar(msg,"str","GET","application/json")
var response = str.ToJson
var str2 = response.Get("value").ToString
Label1.Text = str2

version: Wd 6.1.3. (free)
os: windows 10

because your WD Version is to old.
Upgrade to the latest Version and it will work.
You need Version 6.5.6

If you open the DebugLogger Windows it will tell you where the scripting has problems.

Changing the version does not solve the problem.
I have the free version now, the paid version will be on Friday - then I will understand why it does not work.

Please try this

Code: Select all

Label1.Text = "get response..."
var str = ""
var msg = "https://api.chucknorris.io/jokes/random"
HTTPRequestToVar(msg,"str","GET","application/json")
DebugMessage(str)
