How can I retrieve JSON from an HTTP endpoint, from within Excel on MacOS, and parse it?
you can acutally use the Worksheets(0).QueryTable method in VBA. Just have a look at the manual or google for it. So you don't have to store your json string into a cell.
Or I have used something like
Public Function GetWebSource(ByRef URL As String) As String Dim xml As IXMLHTTPRequest On Error Resume Next Set xml = CreateObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP") With xml .Open "GET", URL, False .send GetWebSource = .responseText End With Set xml = NothingEnd Functionto download an json string.
Look around for parsers. Somehting like Parsing JSON in Excel VBA should fill your needs.
