How to call API and send response to Chat

[Epyxx]

Hey there, i want to call an API url and send the response text to the chat i tried the following but it did not work:

OnCommand bm 0 !next API GET http://localhost/api.php?action=next Chat Send "{api_data}"

and

OnCommand bm 0 !next API GET http://localhost/api.php?action=next Chat Send "{response}"

what is the correct way to do this?

Thanks!

Hey Epyxx,

The first option you send is correct. API response data is available as the api_data parameter. Did you get any value sent to chat like Error?

Something to note, OBS 27+ updated the browser source and any locally hosted APIs will need to include an Access-Control-Allow-Origin header value to allow OBS to call them.

<?php
header("Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *");

Thanks, Kruiser

Thanks! The header was the problem :) Before i got no response at all, there were no message sent to chat. But now with the header it works! :D
