HTTP Request Demo

[Schulerbot]

Hi all,

Trying to use Tiddlywiki in TiddlyDesktop to pull data from REST API, specifically Yahoo Fantasy Baseball.  This Site uses OAuth 2.

I'm not a professional coder, I finally figured out the OAuth flow and I can make the httprequest POST call to get the access token using https://www.hurl.it/ then use that website to access the API url and get data that way, but I'd like to start building a database of stats using tiddlywiki and create kind of an OAuth flow through tiddlywiki. 

Is there any examples, plugins or documentation anyone has on making http requests using

$tw.utils.httpRequest

Any pointers would be helpful. I couldn't find any previous topics that addressed doing something like this.

Thanks!

I wonder, can this be used to have plugins check github to see if they need to be updated?
