Feyl0rd F	Is there a way to pull information for a website and have it read out into a channel? Example I'm going for a on text for sites like this.

Feyl0rd F	Ooooh I see. I assumed the information would just be apart of the page itself. I'll read this over as well!

Feyl0rd F	No luck. I either get an error or nothing happens. I figured it would be simple because it's just one little line. I deleted my code and will try again.

It works and you can use it as a guideline for coding socket scripts. You can find it here. However, since recent, there's been a popular JSON parser made by Froggie, another forum user, which will allow you to very easily pull that info straight from the TwitchAPI. You can use the search function to find more info regarding this. I believe searching for "JSON" or "UPTIME" should work.

Feyl0rd F	The script in your signature looks next level. Hurts my head xD. I'll give it a look, thanks for posting!

If you have the msg # inside the while loop you will msg the channel for each time the loop goes on. /help while loops

Feyl0rd F	That makes a lot of sense! Worked like a charm. Gonna have to put in more study into calling certain things from a website with the JSON stuff. Thank you both for your help. <3 <3 <3 Last edited by Feyl0rd; 26/02/15 08:08 AM.
