Forums Scripts & Popups Retrieving JSON data from website

I'm having trouble with sockets (go figure, lol.)

Here is the code I have so far:

alias bf_sock {
sockopen bfsock http://api.bfbcs.com 80
}

on *:sockopen:bfsock: {
echo -s Socket Opened Successfully.
sockwrite -n bfsock GET /api/360?players=IllogicTC&fields=all HTTP/1.1
sockwrite -n bfsock Host: http://api.bfbcs.com $crlf $+ $crlf
}

on *:sockread:bfsock: {
if ($sockerr) {
echo -s Socket Error. Halting...
HALT
}
echo -s Socket Read Successfully.
var %bfsocktxt
sockread -f %bfsocktxt
echo -s RESULT: %bfsocktxt
sockclose bfsock
echo -s Socket Closed.
}

The echos are in there just for debug purposes, my goal is to be able to retrieve my BFBC2 stats from bfbcs.com's JSON API, but I keep getting:

RESULT: 400 HTTP/1.1 Bad Request

Where on Earth am I going wrong here!? As for the rest, if I can get the information into a variable I can take care of that easily, but this is my first real attempt on sockets

Try using HTTP/1.0 rather than HTTP/1.1

Tried, and get the same, except it just says HTTP/1.0 in the Bad Request.

change your host in the sockopen to

sockwrite -n bfsock Host: api.bfbcs.com $crlf $+ $crlf

most of the returns are going to be too long to echo so you will need to cut down the lines to return info. And don't sockclose so fast in the read.

It read good, thanks! And yes, I'll be switching things around. The big block was the not being able to retrieve data in the first place lol.

Thank you!

For future reference, you're not supposed to supply the http:// or www. in either the /sockopen command of the Host: section when you write to the socket, just the server name.
