# HTTP GET Request

Fetch a JSON response via HTTP GET and display it on Soldered Inkplate 6 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 6
- USB cable
- Stable WiFi connection

## Setup

Run `idf.py menuconfig` and navigate to:
**Inkplate Boards → Inkplate6**
**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.
