Invoke Rest api end point in LUA

Question

I need to invoke a Rest API endpoint from my Lua script. How can I do that? For example, I am able to invoke the endpoint by the below curl command:

curl -X GET \
  -H "X-Parse-Application-Id: ParseAppID" \
  -H "X-Parse-REST-API-Key: RESTAPIKey" \
  https://api.parse.com/1/classes/GameScore

The same I wanted in Lua.

You have lots of options

• LuaSocket
• Lua-HTTP
• Lua-cURL
• (probably more)

All of them are slightly different, but all of them can call your API endpoint.
