Invoke Rest api end point in LUA

问题

I need to invoke a Rest API endpoint from my Lua script. How can I do that? For example, I am able to invoke the endpoint by the below curl command:

curl -X GET \
  -H "X-Parse-Application-Id: ParseAppID" \
  -H "X-Parse-REST-API-Key: RESTAPIKey" \
  https://api.parse.com/1/classes/GameScore

The same I wanted in Lua.

回答1:

You have lots of options

• LuaSocket
• Lua-HTTP
• Lua-cURL
• (probably more)

All of them are slightly different, but all of them can call your API endpoint.

回答2:

Lua by itself cannot call that endpoint, since the standard networking doesn't support https. You will need to use a 3rd-party library, I suggest Lua-cURL. You will need to download and install it.

Using luasocket:

local http = require('socket.http')
local ltn12 = require('ltn12')

local r = {}
http.request {
    url = 'https://blockchain.info/tobtc?currency=USD&value=1000000',
    headers = {['x-accept'] = 'donates'},
    sink = ltn12.sink.table(r)
}
print(r[1])
