func main() {
    resp, err := http.Get("https://api.wynncraft.com/public_api.php?action=statsLeaderboard&type=player&timeframe=alltime")
    if err != nil {
        panic(err)
    }

    body, err := io.ReadAll(resp.Body)
    resp.Body.Close()
    if err != nil {
        panic(err)
    }
    fmt.Printf("%s", body["Player"])
}```

You need to unmarshall the JSON

#

Unmarshall?? What does that do

tacit sedge Sep 21, 2022, 2:01 PM

https://www.sohamkamani.com/golang/json/ 🙂

#

There are literally thousands of Golang JSON tutorials out there.

#

(I picked that one completely at random)

#

Thanks

#

Why is Go this hard 💀

tacit sedge Sep 21, 2022, 2:03 PM

#

There are also a bunch of very handy tools to help you make the structs from an example JSON string.

#

It's completely frozen after I pasted my stuff there lol

#

Is there no easier way to do it?

#

Easier way to unmarshall JSON?

frosty summit Sep 21, 2022, 2:09 PM

#

To skip unmarshalling

tacit sedge Sep 21, 2022, 2:10 PM

#

If you don't unmarshall it, it's just a long string.

frosty summit Sep 21, 2022, 2:11 PM

#

I guess I'm just not gonna use Go

tacit sedge Sep 21, 2022, 2:11 PM

#

Okay. You'll have to unmarshall it in any language, though.

#

Well, I guess you can just assert it as an object in JavaScript, but that has a lot of it's very own pitfalls.

frosty summit Sep 21, 2022, 2:12 PM

#

Not in python

tacit sedge Sep 21, 2022, 2:13 PM

#

Okay.

frosty summit Sep 21, 2022, 2:13 PM

#

I am too dumb to understand marshalling

#

so yeah

tacit sedge Sep 21, 2022, 2:13 PM

#

You're not "dumb" for not understanding something immediately upon coming across it for the first time.

#

You're just new, and that's okay.

#

It's not hard, it's just a little complicated, especially if your background is entirely weakly typed.

#

Stick with it for a while, and I assure you it'll be worth it.

frosty summit Sep 21, 2022, 2:14 PM

#

I'll try

#

https://go.dev/blog/json is a good read, too, but a bit more abstract.

#

Don't get me wrong, it has concrete examples in it, it just also covers some of the theory.

#

...if that even makes sense. I should have a nap.
