HTTP Request working in browser/postman but incorrect response in Autohotkey Topic is solved

[Yogi]

With any browser or the program postman, I'm able to get a response from the following URL with no headers specified:

https://api.nasdaq.com/api/ipo/calendar

However when I try it with autohotkey, I get NO response.

If I include the following headers:

Code: Select all

whr := ComObjCreate("WinHttp.WinHttpRequest.5.1")				 						 		
whr.Open("GET", "https://api.nasdaq.com/api/ipo/calendar" , false)												;	   Nasdaq IPOs		
whr.Send()

I get a Response that states "?"


I'm sure I am doing something incorrectly, if anyone has any experience or can help me get the correct response which is a JSON with the new IPOs I'd greatly appreciate it. Thank you.

AFAICS you need an API key setting too, isn't it so?

BTw, The response that I get with your code: 謟

That is a strange reponse hah. I have an API key but it doesn't seem to work with it either.

I don't think the API key is necessary for this request.

If i open that link without any API key in any browser it will show the data. Even in postmaster. It's just that I don't get the same response with autohotkey.

EDIT:

I have managed to get it working using:

ComObjCreate("Msxml2.XMLHTTP")
Instead of
ComObjCreate("WinHttp.WinHttpRequest.5.1")

That's with no cookies or RequestHeaders (or api keys). I don't know why it works using that but not the WinHttp.

whr.SetRequestHeader("Accept-Encoding", "gzip, deflate, br")

Some quick searching indicates that WinHttpRequest doesn't support gzip, or at least doesn't decode it automatically.

That's the ticket! Thank you!

Yep, that's doing it...

Code: Select all

#SingleInstance, Force
whr := ComObjCreate("Msxml2.XMLHTTP")			 						 		
whr.Open("GET", "https://api.nasdaq.com/api/ipo/calendar" , false)
whr.Send()
MsgBox % whr.ResponseText
