seems pretty clear

Jimmacle•7/25/24, 4:34 PM

whatever site you're making a request to isn't responding

zorousOP•7/25/24, 4:35 PM

the site im fetching from just returns a integer and nothing else.

no format or anything

Buddy•7/25/24, 4:37 PM

Try to specify a useragent

Angius•7/25/24, 4:38 PM

Best read the docs of that API, see what it needs

zorousOP•7/25/24, 4:38 PM

lol no docs

Angius•7/25/24, 4:39 PM

Also, is https://game-website/activePlayershttps://game-website/activePlayers the actual URL you have there?

zorousOP•7/25/24, 4:39 PM

is it possible for them to block my connection and therefore be getting this response type?

AAngius Also, is `https://game-website/activePlayers` the actual URL you have there?

zorousOP•7/25/24, 4:39 PM

https://helmet-heroes-api.com/TotalOnline

Angius•7/25/24, 4:40 PM

Seems it can't even be pinged

Buddy•7/25/24, 4:40 PM

Is that your game?

BBuddy Is that your game?

zorousOP•7/25/24, 4:40 PM

not mine, im just a player

Buddy•7/25/24, 4:41 PM

That site is crazy bad lol.

It thinks I run in 4K when my monitor is just in 4K lol, I play in windowed 1/4th of the screen :kekw:

Angius•7/25/24, 4:41 PM

Curling works

AAngius Curling works

zorousOP•7/25/24, 4:41 PM

anyway to put that into code?

Angius•7/25/24, 4:43 PM

Angius•7/25/24, 4:43 PM

HttpClient seems to work fine

Buddy•7/25/24, 4:43 PM

Same for me

AAngius Click to see attachment

Buddy•7/25/24, 4:43 PM

zorousOP•7/25/24, 4:43 PM

will prob use "getfromjsonasync"

Angius•7/25/24, 4:44 PM

Yeah, it'll make things easier for sure

zorousOP•7/25/24, 4:44 PM

i've been using "ReadAsStringAsync"

Buddy•7/25/24, 4:44 PM

If the format is JSON, sure.

Buddy•7/25/24, 4:44 PM

Definitely easier.

Angius•7/25/24, 4:44 PM

A plain number is valid JSON, so yeah

zorousOP•7/25/24, 4:44 PM

alr

zorousOP•7/25/24, 4:50 PM

Angius•7/25/24, 4:54 PM

Idk what to say, it works perfectly for me

Angius•7/25/24, 4:54 PM

zorousOP•7/25/24, 4:54 PM

i have another call made for http client

Angius•7/25/24, 4:55 PM

Does that one work?

zorousOP•7/25/24, 4:55 PM

i tried putting debug statements before but they didnt even show up instead i got the error

Zzorous im still getting this: ``` Exception thrown: 'System.Net.Http.HttpRequestExcept...

zorousOP•7/25/24, 4:56 PM

i just relaized the error is going on the api "timeapi.io" and not the TotalOnline

zorousOP•7/25/24, 4:57 PM

is it possible for it to be blocking it?

Angius•7/25/24, 4:57 PM

Ah, damn, true lol

AAngius Ah, damn, true lol

zorousOP•7/25/24, 4:58 PM

know any libs that has a clock that shows time for UTC and PH?

Angius•7/25/24, 4:59 PM

NodaTime should be able to easily convert time between timezones

Angius•7/25/24, 5:00 PM

https://nodatime.org/

zorousOP•7/25/24, 5:01 PM

https://www.nuget.org/packages/NodaTime ?

NodaTime 3.1.11

Noda Time is a date and time API acting as an alternative to the built-in DateTime/DateTimeOffset etc types in .NET.

Angius•7/25/24, 5:01 PM

It's even in the sample code on their website lmao

Angius•7/25/24, 5:01 PM

Yeah

zorousOP•7/25/24, 5:01 PM

alr let me rewrite my other .cs file and see if it still causes an issue

zorousOP•7/25/24, 5:15 PM

now its returning this:

The thread '[Thread Destroyed]' (25524) has exited with code 0 (0x0).
The thread '[Thread Destroyed]' (33000) has exited with code 0 (0x0).

The thread '[Thread Destroyed]' (25524) has exited with code 0 (0x0).
The thread '[Thread Destroyed]' (33000) has exited with code 0 (0x0).

still trying to figure out why the text isnt showing up

zorousOP•7/25/24, 5:16 PM

should be like this

Angius•7/25/24, 5:16 PM

Ah, it's, like, WPF or something?

zorousOP•7/25/24, 5:16 PM

yes

Angius•7/25/24, 5:16 PM

Async code with UI frameworks can be... iffy
