How to call a URL Using In-design

Apr 11, 2012 10:49 AM

I am wondering what Class/Method/api to use if I want to make a call to a URL.

For example, let's use twitter as an example. If I want to see the 10 most recent tweets regarding Aishwarya Rai, I would use twitter's search JSON API and call this URL:

http://search.twitter.com/search.json?q=Aishwarya%20Rai&rpp=10&result_ type=recent

I want to know how to call that URL. I don't need to hyperlink to it. I just want to know how to call it, and how to handle the response. If you paste that URL into a browser, you will see a typical JSON response.

So my second question is...are there any JSON handlers included in the InDesign SDK? Or any know third-party things that I can use?

Continuing with the twitter example, I would want to display the results later in a dialog box, formatted in a specific way.

Anyone one with suggestions?

Thanks.
