Hi!
 
I'm developing an extension for Premiere Pro and using CEP. For my task, I need to open a window with another site and get information from it (as in window.open for JavaScript). window.open is not available in CEP.
 
Is there a solution for this?
 
I have read a lot of materials about this, but it seems that many methods don't work now.

Thank you.

Use the 

openURLInDefaultBrowser('https://google.com')

method in CSInterface.

 

If you need to communicate with another site, then use something like fetch() or Web Sockets.

    CEP panels are, themselves, also web pages; as you've noted, window.open wouldn't make much sense, in that environment. 

    Panels can also open urls in the system's default browser, but I doubt csInterface.openURLInDefaultBrowser() is what you want...

     

    What sort of web page are you attempting to open? Could you obtain the information you're getting from that web page, via another method? Perhaps an API?
