This is a sysmodule that allows communicating with the Nintendo Switch using http. This sysmodule brings a few advantages that don't currently exist:
- HTTP is a standardized protocol with well defined uses.
- Most languages have at least one http library, so there's not a need to write a wrapper around raw TCP.
- Web browsers can use HTTP, but not raw TCP (without disabling security rules).
Installation
Download the zip from the latest releases.
Copy the zip file contents to your switch SD card at /atmosphere/contents.
It's recommended to use something like Kosmos Toolbox/Hekate Toolbox and disable the sysmodule when it's not in use.
User guide
Projects using sys-http:
- https://github.com/zaksabeast/DenCrawler - View Pokemon Sword and Shield event raids in the web browser.
Potential future use cases:

- Display Animal Crossing turnip prices in a mobile app.
- Show updating game values during a Twitch live stream.
- Setup a PKHeX REST API and live edit Pokemon from a website.
- Create a Discord bot that allows users to interact with the console.
