Here's an example using 30 seconds

https://www.dropbox.com/s/my90ee9q6t7gdfn/unixtimecheck.c3p?dl=1

Change 30000 to 86400000, and check back tomorrow.

Thanks I will look at it now and let you know

EDIT:: I cant thank you enough newt -- 30 second version works fine -- i cant believe how this could be done so simply :) -- i was hardcoding it!!

I will update this in 24 hrs time!

Thanks Gillis and newt but am i right in saying newt your calculation - calculates if its been a full day since the user started playing?

As what I'm trying to do is have an app display a different value everyday so the api returns one different value every day but to reduce api calls I only want the app to call the API once a day - not necessarily a day since the user has used the app, therefore I have created a local storage which saves the value but if there's no save slot it calls the api but now i need to check if its the next day to then delete the local storage save slot for it to get the api again and display another value.

But I'm slightly confused on how to calculate the next day -- if you understand where I'm coming from :)

I would use "unixtime" and compare the milliseconds in a day.

So if unixtime-86400000 => storedUnixtime, then you know its a day

newt what do you mean by storedUnixtime as i cant seem to find that command?

newt I have tried with the browser js for example getFullYear() but it returns 0 what am i doing wrong
i used this code Browser.ExecJS("getFullYear()")

EDIT IT WORKS NOW

BUT how do i see if its the next day as i want to call an api once daily so i dont call it every time the app opens how would i do this?

What you are looking at is JSOn data you should use AJAX to request that URL and then use on AJAX completed parse JSON string to AJAX.lastData then set a variable to JSON.Get("money") and in this case it will set it to 264.44
