I have an HTTP binding that pulls a pressure value from an API. I’d like to store this value so I can save the data and display it on a chart. Ideally, if a tag can be created from it, then I can plot the tag values on a chart. ---

Instead of using an HTTP binding you can create a memory tag and then in a gateway timer script periodically poll the API and write to the tag. ---

How do I translate the HTTP binding to a script? I have all of the necessary information in the binding configuration window. Is there a way to see what the script looks like when its sent to the API?
