nInput HTTPJson

This input retrieves a json parsed content from a HTTP/HTTPs external URL and makes it the content of the corresponding attribute. It allows to apply a selector or even a function to filter the results to be stored on the attribute.

Example of use of the execArgs:

input: 	
  name         : Get public IP info
  cron         : "*/5 * * * * *"
  waitForFinish: true
  onlyOnEvent  : false
  execFrom     : nInput_HTTPJson
  execArgs     :

    requests: 

      ifconfig service/Current public IP:
        url : https://ifconfig.com/json
        path: ip
      
      ifconfig service/Details:
        url : https://ifconfig.co/json
        fn  : |
          delete json.user_agent;
          return json;

      ifconfig service/User agent:
        url : https://ifconfig.co/json
        path: user_agent

      test service/Echo:
        url    : https://httpbin.org/post
        method : post
        options:
          urlEncode: true
          uriQuery : true
        data   :
          hello: world
        idx    :
          a: 123
