# HTTP GET Request Fetch a JSON response via HTTP GET and display it on Soldered Inkplate 5 using LVGL. ## Overview Connects to WiFi, performs an HTTP GET to httpbin.org/get, and displays the raw JSON response body on the e-paper screen. httpbin.org/get returns a JSON object with request info (IP, headers, etc.) — useful for verifying network connectivity. ## Hardware Required - Soldered Inkplate 5 - USB cable - Stable WiFi connection ## Setup Run `idf.py menuconfig` and navigate to: **Inkplate Boards → Inkplate5** **WiFi Configuration → Enter your SSID and password** ## Build and Flash ``` idf.py build idf.py -p PORT flash monitor ``` ## Expected Output Display shows the raw JSON response from httpbin.org/get. ## Notes - Response is displayed as raw text without parsing. - Long responses are truncated to fit the display buffer. - `lv_refr_now()` renders the LVGL scene into the framebuffer. - `display.display()` must be called to update the physical e-paper panel. ## Resources - Docs: https://docs.soldered.com/inkplate - Support: https://forum.soldered.com/ - Image tool: https://tools.soldered.com/tools/image-converter/
