I am pasting some code I've built here that should do what you want but
when I try it, it returns a 401 error which is an authentication error.
On that manual page you linked there is a notice about API keys and

Hi Everyone,
It is with a lot of excitement that I am here to announce a new plugin
for LiveCode called Network Tracer. This is a zero-configuration plugin
and library combination that creates a "networked log" experience to
help you debug your LC solutions.
To use it, you open the Dashboard
might help you.
Cheers

Dear Tom,
The TypeTool mostly acts on the "the selobj" so unless you start
changing the scripts, it won't make much sense on a standalone.
On the other hand, all the stacks are unlocked and you have access to

needs. For

If you're in control of the HTML used in the widget, then I'd advise you

Check the sharing options on the spreadsheet. Remember LiveCode is not

I know too well the rabbit holes that lies deep into some LC projects.

Be aware that YAML is tricky to parse, there are better formats such as
TOML which are much easier and tend to be less error prone. It is very
easy to get some indentation wrong in YAML and move something up or down
a level. TOML is IMHO a better format for such stuff.
