EViews.com

Hello,

I have dutifully searched the documentation, add-ins, and forums and have not found an answer to this question:

Is it possible to send a GET request to a web API and store the response (in JSON) in a an EViews object (most likely a string)? I don't expect EViews to parse the object...if I could just read it into a string, I can write my own parser.

wfopen(), import(), and read() have not been successful thus far.

Thank you,

-James

Not easily.

No worries. To R, then!

GET request to a web API and store the response (in JSON) and parse it. Is this still possible in the latest version?. If so, please direct me to the documentation.

You might think about using the new Python to EViews interface for this job.

Thank you for the response. Can you provide me some tips on how can i get started?. Looking for more detail please.

EViews has a white paper on their website about hot to connect Python to EViews. The details of JSON are beyond me I'm afraid.
