makeWebRequest() to phone app

Your phone app needs to be able to act as a web server to use makeWebRequest().

So I make my phone as web server and call webrequest with localhost address? Assuming that phone is offline.

Not your phone.  The app you want to get data from itself.

Ok, I made app which acts as webserver. What address should I make request to? I suppose web request is made through connectIQ App?

I will try. thanks. 

hi, how can I do web request from data field? Is it possible?

You need to create a background process.  They run at most every 5 minutes.

I have one that pulls the current weather from the internet for example, where every 5 minutes is more than enough.

It works in  widget, but when i try it from datafield I get:

Error: Permission Required
Details: Module 'Toybox.Communications' not available to 'Data Field'

Is it possible to get sample for makeWebRequest for datafield

add the background permission, and do the makeWebRequest in the background service.

You can not do it in the view (commpute()/onUpdate()/etc)
