Simple HTTP request that returns JSON

Hi,

I know this has been asked before, but I cannot find a satisfactory answer.

What I want to do is make a simple http request to, say some url which outputs a JSON feed.
In Unity, this took me about 10 minutes and 5 lines of code… but in c++, which is brand new to me (as is UE4), I am really struggling and not enjoying myself, but am trying to get this.

So basically, from UE4, I would like to create a HTTP request, have it return some JSON, parse that JSON and then for example, print it to console… I have tried many examples but all I get are errors and hundreds of lines of code for a simple request. Also, I’ve tried boost, libCurl, curlpp and everyone one of them gave me problems (the examples).

Any help would be really appreciated.

Thanks!

Have a look at this plugin!

I have been using it for the same as what you described and it works a charm
