For example: Create an RB project, add a textarea and paste this code to its open event handler: Dim http As New HTTPSocket TextArea1.Text=TextArea1.Text _ + http.Get("http://loripsum.net/api/1/plaintext",30) Quote:How do I use the API? Just do a GET request on loripsum.net/api, to get some placeholder text. You can add extra parameters to specify the output you're going to get. Say, you need 10 short paragraphs with headings, use loripsum.net/api/10/short/headers. All of the possible parameters are: (integer) - The number of paragraphs to generate. short, medium, long, verylong - The average length of a paragraph. decorate - Add bold, italic and marked text. link - Add links. ul - Add unordered lists. ol - Add numbered lists. dl - Add description lists. bq - Add blockquotes. code - Add code samples. headers - Add headers. allcaps - Use ALL CAPS. prude - Prude version. plaintext - Return plain text, no HTML. _________________ "Stop deluding yourself with wishful thinking and find a solution that works for what you need to do" Tim Hare - on forums.realsoftware.com Top Display posts from previous: All posts1 day7 days2 weeks1 month3 months6 months1 year Sort by AuthorPost timeSubject AscendingDescending Page 1 of 1 [ 1 post ] -- Over 1500 classes with 29000 functions in one REALbasic plug-in collection.
