Interpreting json response

[AndreB 0]

Hello everybody

I'm trying to create a website where I could send the commands using the fibaro API. I don't know how to control the json file answer to display some values . Do I have to install a program ? Or a server? I can write little programs in php or python and know how to use html.

Thanks for help.

Do you mean send API commands to Fibaro controller from website and to breakdown jSON tables received from Fibaro?

In general JSON response is a table represented as a string. You need to decode the string back to table and to retrieve data as standard table structure.

Please try send API command to fibaro using FIrefox browser. On left top side you have buttons to view received data as JSON or Raw data. Hope it will clarify JSON structure to you

Thanks cag014,

Yes, it  is.

But I receive directly the json file in the chrome window from witch I send the API command and don't know how to capture it. Sorry if it is a basic question. I use chrome as navigator because after I would work with a raspberry pi and a 7" screen.

I'm 71 and don't want to die stupid.

Thanks

Admire your approach...

As  I understand you're using chrome just to review the answer. afterword you'll use this on raspberry p, right?

So start to write on raspberry

send HTTP command

Receive JSON

Parse JSON

Here is an example that you can try to use in HC2 Virtual device... just play with that....

Please login or register to see this code.

I know some users in this form using raspberry as well.... so anyone can send part of the code for JSON decoding?
