Hi,
I've used App inventor for a while and written some basic apps but I've not used any html/cURL POST/GET type data transfer before so I'm looking for some guidance.

I'm using Node-Red on a Raspberry Pi and the pushbullet service to get some information from the RPI when I send a pushbullet request to it from my phone but I want to do the request from an app in my phone rather than using the pushbullet app.

The API is documented well and cURL is used to send the message to the pushbullet server, can anyone give me some basic guidance on how I can send a "cURL" request from App inventor?

Thanks,
Phil

Thanks Taifun but problem I've got is that I'm completely inexperienced with the web component, I don't know what should go where, the API for pushbullet shows the required info I just don't know what bit of info goes where.

Have you come across any tutorials or sample apps that use CURL for sending html data?

Don't worry if not, I'm sure the great Google search engine will show me the way soon.

Cheers.

that's the wrong question ;-) in App Inventor you use the web component and not cURL...
