[EDIT 14th January 2022] Version 3.0.0 of the ESP8266 Core now requires that the http.begin command now includes the WiFi Client name as well as the server path. In the original sketch the start of the api_bridge function looked like this… void api_bridge(String token, int virtual_pin, float value_to_send) { HTTPClient http; String server_path = server_name + "update?token=" + token + "&pin=v" + String(virtual_pin) + "&value=" + float(value_to_send); // Your Domain name with URL path…

I’m still curious why you don’t find MQTT a good solution. It’s all I ever use for my Home Automation projects.
