Advanced Meatloaf Operations
That's right, Meatloaf supports JSON interactions. You can easily build programs to parse JSON responses. Checkout this sample in Commodore BASIC:
10 rem *** open comms
11 open 15,16,15, ""
12 open 2,16,2,"https://whatsmyip.dev/api/ip"
20 rem *** receive and parse data
21 print#15, "jsonparse,2"
22 print#15, "jq,2,/addr"
23 input#2,ip$
30 rem *** close and print data
31 close 2: close 15
32 print "my ip:",ip$
By utilizng device 16, you can make requests to external APIs and process the returning data. The above opens a connection the api hosted at WhatsMyIP.dev and returns the 'addr' field to the program. It's then printed to the screen in line 32. It's just that simple!
Once connected to your network, you can send files from web sites to your Meatloaf device. Search in the extensions and plug-in repositories for you browser and install it. It's free!
From there, it's simple. Browse to your favorite locations that server any of the supported files, right click and select "Send To Meatloaf". After that, list to verify then load and run. Neat, huh?
