Send POST Params and retrieve JSON

Gh0$t · **Author**

Hello!
I want to send POST-Parameters to a webAPI that was written by me. I think i should use the socket extension:

but i don't know how can i realize this. The return of the API is a JSON-String, how can i parse this in SourcePAWN? And how can i send POST-Params?
Thanks for help.

You'd need to put your own POST request together. I'd recommend using the cURL extension.

There is no easy way to parse json in sourcepawn. You should use a simpler serialisation to push data to your gameserver.

Imagine your own little format, like seperating infos by linebreaks or a "|" char or something easy like that.

Writing a PHP script to return KeyValues isn't difficult at all.
