HTTP REST (GET)

This source calls a URL in a fixed interval and parses the JSON it answers with.

Settings

Setting
Url	string	The address that is called.
Interval	TimeSpan	How much time passes between two calls. Default 5 seconds.
Method	Enum	Get, which is the only method available.
ResponseFormat	Enum	Json, which is the only format available.

Name and Enabled are described on the Sources page.

Properties

The following properties are available in addition to the common ones, when using a HTTP REST (GET) source. They can be used by using {Binding Sources.NameOfSource.Property} where Property is of the following:

Property
HttpCode	string	Response status code (e.g. OK or NOTFOUND or other)
ResponseString	string	The raw body of the response for debugging.
Value	object	Result

The parsed value

A JSON object becomes an object whose properties are bound by name, and a JSON array becomes a list that is addressed with an index, so a response that starts with [ is reached as Value[0].

A response that answers with an error status code, that is empty, or that cannot be parsed as JSON sets IsSuccess to false and describes the problem in ErrorText. The raw body stays available in ResponseString, which is what the clipboard button in the Sources tab copies.
