Here's how to get started:

//PLACE THE URL FROM WHICH YOU WILL RETRIEVE DATA INTO ANY VARIABLE (tURL)
put "http://intimes.eu.pn/getsurvey.php" into tURL

// RETRIEVE DATA FROM SERVER. PLACE DATA INTO VARIABLE tDATA
put url tURL into tData

// DO SOMETHING WITH tData

To work with JSON within Livecode, you will have to use a library that parse JSON. Investigating this is a start. http://revonline2.runrev.com/stack/82/LibJson-1-0b

To start I suggest to read the following chapters of the Users Guide

  • 11.4 Working with URLs
  • 11.5 Uploading and downloading files
  • 11.6 Other Internet commands

Available on MSWindows for example under C:\Program Files\RunRev\LiveCode Community 6.1\Documentation\pdf

And you probably need https://github.com/montegoulding/mergJSON‎
