Calling API

[RedyMotion]

So basically I'd like to call the API of Payhip ( site where you can sell stuff )

is there anyways I can do that with extendscript?
whole documentation : https://help.payhip.com/article/114-software-license-keys

I made a post similar recently but wasn't really clear, so here's exactly what I'm looking for!
I don't know much about all of that API stuff so please explain it in the easiest way

Thanks in advance,
RedyMotion

You create a socket in your script and call the URL.

Hey!

First of all, thank you so much! As I said, I'm really new to all of this... Can you just send me a line of code doing that?

Thanks,
RedyMotion

AFAIK, extendscript sockets only supports http and non SSL. I've only able to found a way to get through that by Coppieter's GetURL method and grefel/restix. Coppetier's GetURL is like a yearly refresh thing which you need to email him to get the license or something like that. Grefel/restix however only works with Indesign. So if you want anything, you might need to do a bridgetalk() between AE and ID to have them communicate with each other after fetch info online. This is part 1 of the equation. However, I have no idea if this will work with your API.

API works with extensions. Have you considered that approach?

Thanks!

I'll take a look at bridgetalk! Yup I considered it but I don't think it's the best way of doing it for my script
