SOLVED: Telegram chatid and api key available to scripts ?

Hi,
I'd find very useful for Domoticz to export a global variable within settings to scripts.
I use several LUA scripts, and it will be great if scripts can get a variable table within the Telegram API key and chat_id defines in Setup -> Settings -> Notifications, so it's not needed to duplicate those variables inside external configuration files.

The settings are available with an API call for Lua with curl. See also

With sufficient authorization it's quite easy to get these values from domoticz via the API.
See below dzVents (100% Lua) example
Code: Select all
local scriptVar = 'settings'
return
{
on =
{
timer =
{
'every minute'
},
httpResponses =
{
scriptVar,
}
},
logging =
{
level = domoticz.LOG_DEBUG,
marker = scriptVar,
},
execute = function(dz, item)
if item.isTimer then
dz.openURL({
url = dz.settings['Domoticz url'] .. '/json.htm?type=settings',
callback = scriptVar,
})
return
end
if item.isHTTPResponse and item.json then
-- dz.utils.dumpTable(item.json) -- Dumps all values to log
dz.log('TelegramAPI: '.. item.json.TelegramAPI, dz.LOG_DEBUG )
dz.log('TelegramCHAT ID: ' ..item.json.TelegramChat, dz.LOG_DEBUG )
else
dz.log('There was a problem handling the request', dz.LOG_ERROR)
dz.log(item, dz.LOG_DEBUG)
end
end
}

Hi waaren,
thanks a lot for your reply. I didn't know that settings were available in json!
Having a table/dict variable with all settings is easier to access, but json is a good workaround as well.

Have a look at
this wiki page to see what else is available via the API in json returns
