HTTP API allows controlling SL groups and Second Life bots using HTTP queries. The query can be send from SL object (LSL script), website code or your application.

The basics

Basically the whole process consists of the following steps:

  1. Compose the query and send it (using llHTTPRequest in case of LSL)
  2. Wait for the SmartBots reply (using http_response in case of LSL)
  3. Decode the reply.

Helper functions

We've written few helper functions to make HTTP API usage easier:

smartbotsAPI("status", []);

Check LSL Helper Functions for more info on helpers.

Raw code

string params = llDumpList2String([
  "action="  + "get_balance",

  "apikey="  + llEscapeURL(sbApiKey),
  "botname=" + llEscapeURL(sbBotName),
  "secret="  + llEscapeURL(sbBotAccessCode)
], "&");

llHTTPRequest("https://api.mysmartbots.com/api/bot.html",
 [HTTP_METHOD,"POST"], params);
