access content of Web Page Box?

I get an error message when I access a REST API via load text file()

load text file ("http://api.open-notify.org/iss-now.json");

On the other hand, it works when I use web()

x=New Window("", Web Browser Box ( "http://api.open-notify.org/iss-now.json", JMP window ));

 

Is there a way to retrieve the JSON string via the Web Page Box?

web box = x[Web Page Box(1)];
web box << Get text;

Have you tried using New HTTP Request or Open?

Names Default To Here(1);

request = New HTTP Request(
	URL("http://api.open-notify.org/iss-now.json"),
	Method("GET")
);
data = request << Send;
aa = Parse JSON(data);

// dt = Open("http://api.open-notify.org/iss-now.json");

Re: access content of Web Page Box?

yes, I tried both.

Re: access content of Web Page Box?

Seems that web() is using the web browser of my system - with the benefit of getting the access.

On the other hand this might prevent us from accessing the content? [out of reach for JMP?]

Re: access content of Web Page Box?

Might be worth trying to figure out why New HTTP Request doesn't work.

Re: access content of Web Page Box?

via Web(), it seems that JMP automatically inherits the permissions from the browser.

Security setting prevent me from getting credentials via the embedded browser.

So I tried 

oauth2 = New OAuth2( Browser Type( "External" ) );

This way, the authentication works - but I don't get a"code" or "URL" which I could enter here:

 

So, I set up the connection between JMP and the Browser via Selenium. This works nicely

Next try:
save the content of the web page box and red the save file.

but the save file is empty: How to save webpages through JSL 

 

Re: access content of Web Page Box?

To skip the Selenium part, is there some UseDefaultCredentials setting to use the credentials of my user account to access the files?

Re: access content of Web Page Box?

I would guess there is a cookie stored somewhere which you might be able to utilize. Are you able to contact the developers of the API and ask for them to create endpoint which could be used with some other authentication method?
