Data from game to site

FiveM Resource Development & Modding Discussion

I’ve been trying to find a way to live update my website with the AOP status (Fax-Area-of-Play)[[Release] Area of Patrol - Set AOP - Ft. Draw Text, Peacetime & More [AOP] [3.0]] and display it on my CAD system. I cant even get the data from the game to the website. Anyone have any knowledge in this field?

Can you explain how you are currently trying to collect the information?

We are trying to use cron jobs but we’re trying to find a way that doesn’t require ESX, also we’re looking for an example of a PerformHTTPRequest so we could use that

So you’re wanting to scrape the data as opposed to storing and retrieving it; why not just put the data in a database and retrieve it that way? You’ll put less strain on your FiveM server bandwidth that way.

This is what i use with my discord webhook

PerformHttpRequest(WEBHOOKHERE, function(Error, Content, Head) end, 'POST', json.encode({username = SystemName, content = 'SOMETHING THATS SENT TO MY SPECIFIED WEBHOOK'}), { ['Content-Type'] = 'application/json' })

Alot of the discord bots use this to post to discord channels.

I dont have much experience with databases. Are they any tutorials or something I could refer to?

If you want to go down the database route, the documentation is pretty easy to understand:

Here is a resource that is written in php that gets information for vrp. You could use this as a guide on how to retrieve the data from your database.
