Legacy GM JSON reading from URL.

[NoFontNL]

Hi.

var wrjson = '{"status":"Success.","p1":"NoFontNL","s1":"26"}';
wrjsonlist = json_decode(wrjson);
var worldrecord = wrjsonlist[? "s1"];
var wrowner = wrjsonlist[? "p1"];
draw_text_outline(x-240,y+52,string(worldrecord) + " by " + string(wrowner),4,c_black);

works, but

var wrjson = http_get('the_url_which_contains_the_same_text_as_above') // (raw text without html)
wrjsonlist = json_decode(wrjson);
var worldrecord = wrjsonlist[? "s1"];
var wrowner = wrjsonlist[? "p1"];
draw_text_outline(x-240,y+52,string(worldrecord) + " by " + string(wrowner),4,c_black);

doesn't work.

How would I make method 2 work?

http_get works asynchronously and thus does not return the results of the http request, but instead returns an ID you can use in the "asynchronous HTTP event".
In that event, you'll get the results from the request inside the async_load map.
