JSON pars error for https://{{ip}}/{{command}}

EDIT: by @CodeShepherd  Moved to own topic from this one.

Hello,

Thanks for the sharing.

I tried it and I have an issue at the JSON parsing . The initial URL was : https://{{ip}}/{{{command}}} I changed it to https://{{ip}}/{{command}} 

This doesn't seem to work, it returns statuscode 200 and I still get a "JSON parse error"

I'm on a Virtual Core do you have a solution?

Could you share your nodes so we can do some tests?

[xLujumajo]

Yes of course.

Please rename .txt to .json

I tried to get trough all of this and I found that it was a little bit confusing. Because I normally simply use function to put the message together and use a generic http request.

Did you try to use three brackets each "https://{{{ip}}}/{{{command}}}"? I now other nodes behave like this.

We could also have a short online meeting if you like. Please send me a private message with your contact data then.

I had a deeper look and found that your code simply asks for the html code at a node on the datalayer. This is also given back, but the JSON parser cannot interpret this as a JSON object so you get the error shown.

Please have a look to the blog post "Using REST API of ctrlX CORE" to see how the basics work.
