GenericHTTP Arduino Library

The GenericHTTP library simplifies sending HTTP requests using the ESP8266-01 module (e.g., ESP-01) with an Arduino board. It provides a convenient way to establish Wi-Fi connection, send various types of HTTP requests, and handle responses.

Features

• Connect to Wi-Fi network using provided SSID and password.
• Send HTTP GET and POST requests to specified endpoints.
• Handle HTTP responses, including parsing and extracting data.

Installation

1. Download the latest release of the library.
2. In the Arduino IDE, go to Sketch > Include Library > Add .ZIP Library... and select the downloaded ZIP file.
3. Restart the Arduino IDE.

Usage

1. Import the GenericHTTP.h library at the beginning of your Arduino sketch:

#include <GenericHTTP.h>

2. Create an instance of the GenericHTTP class:

GenericHTTP http;

3. Connect to Wi-Fi using connectToWiFi function:

http.connectToWiFi("your_wifi_ssid", "your_wifi_password");

4. Send an HTTP GET request:

bool success = http.sendHTTPRequest("GET", "example.com", "80", "/path/to/endpoint", nullptr, nullptr);
if (success) {
  // Handle successful response
} else {
  // Handle failed request
}

Examples

The library comes with several example sketches to help you get started:

• Basic Usage: Demonstrates the basic usage of the library to connect to Wi-Fi and send an HTTP GET request.
• Advanced Usage: Shows more advanced scenarios, such as handling responses and using custom headers.

Feel free to explore these examples to understand how to integrate the GenericHTTP library into your own projects.
