Wow, a blast from the past. VB6 was released back in 1998, 25+ years ago! Time to upgrade I think.

VB6 has been dead for over 20 years now. It's long since time to upgrade to something more modern AND SUPPORTED!

Okay, Google is your friend:
1. vb6 json - Google Search[^] - finds: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2782076/is-there-a-json-parser-for-vb6-vba[^]
2. vb6 rest call - Google Search[^] finds: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/43925013/make-a-call-from-vb6-to-webapi[^]

There should be enough there for you to do the rest.

You must have set your pc time-zone back by 20 years to find this, probably in IE v1.01 :)

LOL... been a few years since I've done any VB6. The way back machine comes in handy: Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0 Professional Edition (January 2001)(203 01158)(X06 15978) : Free Download, Borrow, and Streaming : Internet Archive[^]
