Hello all,
I am trying to fetch XML data from a web site. I manage to access the data as text, and I wrote a function to parse it (very lengthy).
I found that you can getElementsByTagName but this is not working for me. Here is my code:

Rich (BB code):
Private Sub GetPredictItData()

    Dim Req As New XMLHTTP60
    Dim myurl As String
    Dim myUrlId As String
    
    myUrlId = 3633
    
    myurl = "https://www.predictit.org/api/marketdata/markets/" & myUrlId
    
    Req.Open "GET", myurl, False
    Req.setRequestHeader "Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"
    Req.send
    
    Dim Resp As New MSXML2.DOMDocument60
    Resp.LoadXML Req.responseText   '  this is the part that is not working as expected 

End Sub

Req.responseText has content, but Resp has ZERO childNodes. I would like to get the elements by Tag Name... but since Resp has no content, I cannot do anything.
Thanks,
hilss
