Hello!
I'd like to try short answers API with MMBasic for myself.
As for any APIs I tried I did the following:
Opened a TCP client as "api.wolframalpha.com", port 80.
Send TCP request as "GET /v1/result?appid=MYAPPIDHERE&i=speed+of+light"+CRLF
Opening TCP clinet is ok, but for response I got 404 Not found (in html structure).
Something I need to do in an other way? This was worked for 99% of simple APIs.
Thanks a lot!
