Problem with HTTP POST request body

#1

1) Give a description of the problem
I want to send and HTTP request from webCoRE to Home Assistant with several information regarding my TV. I’m hoping to send a JSON object to NR and work that message there.

3) What is happening/not happening?
So far I’ve been able to send a message with a single attribute like volume or on/off status, but I’d like to send a complete message

Thanks in advanced!

Will a url call with multiple values work on the NR receiving side like http://nr_address/?data1=value1&data2=value2

I figured out aother/easier way of doing this. I appreciate though!

and what about the other way around? making a request from outside webcore to webcore and use the information of the body of the http request whithin webCoRE? I wan’t to use the launchApp command for my tv. Create just one piston with the app name as a variable coming from the body of the http request… I hope I explained myself properly.

I do know how to execute a piston from outside, what I don’t know is how to use the information from the body of the request in the piston itself.

Thanks in advanced

You can call the piston’s external URL and within the piston create a task to log the contents of $args so you can inspect what webcore is receiving. Post that here so someone can maybe help you extract the information you need and use it for other tasks.
