Ok

Are you sure that i can access to api via https using socket object (in indesign 5.5 i can use only http protocol)

Note: I've re-done GetURL ; this blog posts explains how to also support https. Only works in more recent versions...

    You may want to use at the socket object. See chapter 6 on page 194 of the JavaScript Tools Guide CC.pdf (can be found from ExtendScript ToolKit via help menu).

    Or you may want to use easier tools such as getUrl from Rorohiko:

    Rorohiko: GetURLs.jsx - access HTTP content from InDesign ExtendScript

    Or IDExtenso from InDiscripts

    GitHub - indiscripts/IdExtenso: ExtendScript Framework for InDesign Ninjas

    Both latter make accessing http url simplier.
