Can't Parse JSON? I need some HttpService help.
So i'm trying to get a table off a website... But I can't seem to get it. Any idea why? Heres my scirpt:
local HS = game:GetService("HttpService")
script.Parent.Enter.MouseButton1Click:connect(function()
local x = HS:GetAsync("https://getbible.net/json?p=James", false)
local y = HS:JSONDecode(x)
wait()
for i,v in pairs(y)do
print(v)
end
end)

The site you provided does not have a properly formatted string.
also, connect is deprecated, use Connect :D
local HS = game:GetService("HttpService")
local x = HS:GetAsync("https://getbible.net/json?p=James", false)
--Properly format le string
local y = HS:JSONDecode(x:sub(2):reverse():sub(3):reverse())
function readTab(tab)
local function f(t)
wait();
for i,v in next,t do --Iterate through each index
if type(v) ~= "table" then --if it's not a table
if i:match("verse") then --and it's key says 'verse'
print(i.." : "..v); --print it
end
else --otherwise
f(v) --do this all again on the table
end
end
end
f(tab);
end
script.Parent.Enter.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
readTab(y);
end)

But how would I be able to get the verse part? MRbraveDragon 374 — 6y

I'm guessing the data I need is inside a Table. How would I access the table? MRbraveDragon 374 — 6y

It seems you have multiple tables inside of eachother. I wrote you a little function to pick through them and isolate the verses to print Goulstem 8144 — 6y

If this is too disorganized still, note you can manually make a bunch of generic for loops to isolate each individual potential value. Goulstem 8144 — 6y
