Access Philips Hue REST API?

[dan2600]

Is it possible for a factorio mod to send requests to a web REST API?

I know LUA can use socket.http and ltn12 for such tasks. But I'm a bit confused on if mods can access standard lua functions or only the factorio lua API.

The mod I have in mind would basically turn the lights in my room different colors based on different events done in the game.

Thanks for the help!

Lua is limited for security reasons - no os functions and no connections of any kind.

Thanks for the reply! I figured as much. I'll post a request for a simple HTTP method to API request forum then. I think there could be a lot of cool uses for it (such as external monitoring on a second device, etc)
