Hello everyone please how can I call an endpoint in a `GET route` in `ktor` example `<https api paystack co transaction verify 353532>` and after I called it how can I get the response in form of `json`

above is how I m doing it but I m not getting the reponse

August Lilleaas · Answer

does that code compile I would expect that you would need to extract values from `response` instead of forwarding it wholesale to `call respond `

Aminu Babayo Shehu · Answer

August Lilleaas · Answer

the `response` value is documented here <https ktor io docs response html>

are you missing a in the snippet you shared before your call respond call but in general break it it up in pieces and 1 make sure your response from the ktor client part is working properly e g a breakpoint on call respond should give you that info before thinking about 2 your ktor server part call respond returning a json of what you received with your client

Thomas Urbanitsch · Answer
