This plugin allows you to do http requests within your gsc scripts.
Usage:
callback(content) // callback function receiving the request content as string
{
iprintln("out:" + content); // print the result
}
...
httpget("127.0.0.1/test.php", ::callback);
httpget interprets the received contents as a string which can be read from the callback
This plugin is written in D. You can get the needed compiler here and the dub build system here. To compile the plugin run dub --arch=x86 --build=release in the folder containing package.json.
init()
{
for(;;)
{
httpgetjson("http://freegeoip.net/json/8.8.8.8", ::callback); // get country for 8.8.8.8 every 5 seconds
wait 5;
}
}
callback(handle)
{
if(handle == 0)
{
//error parsing json. Do something about this error case
return;
}
res = jsongetstring(handle, "country_name");
jsonreleaseobject(handle); // release the plugin internal json data
iprintln(res); // prints country name
}
