Hi there,
I want to build an App in LiveCode which connects to a webservice/-app via their webservice-API.

The webservice owner says:

Every API-Request go trough a POST Request with XML or JSON formatted body to a service-url.

And there's also an example to login:

Code: Select all

 curl -v -X POST \ 
–u {E-Mail-Adress}:{API-Key} \ 
-H 'Content-Type: application/xml' \ 
-d '{xml body}' \ 
https://serviceiurl.com/api.php

Is this possible in LiveCode?

Yes, LiveCode supports POST (as well as GET). What happened when you tried it?

Using webservices (APIs) is very doable in LiveCode, but you'll need a library(free) if you want to work with JSON formatted data.

I'm quite sure I've used this library in the past: https://github.com/luxlogica/easyjson

Best of luck! LC is great
