VBA Api integration - Empty Return - excel

I have a question. I have a site and I want to pull data through this website. I wrote a VBA code but it seems it always return empty even though there are data. Here is the code;
Sub dataxx()
Dim request As New WinHttpRequest
request.Open "Get", "https://api.ibb.gov.tr/ispark/ParkDetay?id=45"
request.Send
If request.Status <> 200 Then
MsgBox request.ResponseText
Exit Sub
End If
Dim response As Variant
Set response = JsonConverter.ParseJSON(request.ResponseText)
Dim parkArray() As String
ReDim parkArray(0 To 0)
On Error Resume Next
Dim locationName As String
locationName = response("locationName")
Dim parkID As Integer
parkID = response("parkID")
Dim parkName As String
parkName = response("parkName")
Dim lat As Double
lat = response("lat")
Dim lng As Double
lng = response("lng")
Dim capacity As Integer
capacity = response("capacity")
Dim emptyCapacity As Integer
emptyCapacity = response("emptyCapacity")
Dim updateDate As Date
updateDate = response("updateDate")
Dim workHours As String
workHours = response("workHours")
Dim parkType As String
parkType = response("parkType")
Dim freeTime As Integer
freeTime = response("freeTime")
Dim monthlyFee As Double
monthlyFee = response("monthlyFee")
Dim tariff As String
tariff = response("tariff")
Dim district As String
district = response("district")
Dim address As String
address = response("address")
Dim areaPolygon As String
areaPolygon = response("areaPolygon")
parkArray(15) = Array(locationName, parkID, parkName, lat, lng, capacity, emptyCapacity, updateDate, workHours, parkType, freeTime, monthlyFee, tariff, district, address, areaPolygon)
End Sub
What do you guys think of it? What is wrong with the code. If i didn't put "On Error Resume Next" then i get an error "Invalid procedure call or argument". Can anyone help me please with it?

The json is an array of records so you have to use response(1)("parkName")
[
{
"parkName": "H\u00fcsrev Gerede Sokak 1",
"parkType": "YOL \u00dcST\u00dc",
"updateDate": "02.02.2023 16:15:18",
"workHours": "08:00-19:00"
}
]
Option Explicit
Sub dataxx()
Dim request As New WinHttpRequest, response As Variant
Dim field, parkArray(), i As Long, msg As String
request.Open "Get", "https://api.ibb.gov.tr/ispark/ParkDetay?id=45"
request.Send
If request.Status <> 200 Then
MsgBox request.ResponseText, vbExclamation
Exit Sub
End If
field = Array("locationName", "parkID", "parkName", "lat", "lng", _
"capacity", "emptyCapacity", "updateDate", "workHours", "parkType", _
"freeTime", "monthlyFee", "tariff", "district", "address", "areaPolygon")
ReDim parkArray(0 To UBound(field))
Set response = JsonConverter.ParseJson(request.ResponseText)
With response(1)
For i = 0 To UBound(parkArray)
parkArray(i) = .Item(field(i))
msg = msg & vbLf & field(i) & "=" & parkArray(i)
Next
End With
MsgBox msg, vbInformation
End Sub

OPC DA Client - Unable to assign item.Value to VBA variable

Below is an OPC Client written in VBA. It is using the OPC Foundation DA libraries. I am able to get the current value of the item (I can read it in locals window), but it is not assigning the value to myValue = theItem.Value Hovering over theItem.Value during a break shows the value as well.
Any thoughts?

myWriteValues = Array(8, 0, 1)
For i = LBound(myItems) To UBound(myItems)
Set theItem = theGroup.OPCItems.AddItem(myItems(i), currentHandle)
myValue = theItem.Value
handles(1) = theGroup.OPCItems.Item(1).ServerHandle
theGroup.OPCItems.Remove 1, handles, Errors
Next i
theServer.Disconnect
End Sub
After review/trouble shooting.
The OPCItem object provides methods to read the current value of the item in the server and write a new value to the item. I have included these facilities into this dialog. The read method provided on an OPCItem object performs a synchronous read from the server and can be configured to read either from cache or from the device. To read from cache both the group and item should be active, but synchronous read operations directly from the device do not depend on the active state of either the group or item.
Adding the following code allowed me to assign to variable.
Dim source As OPCDataSource
Dim myValue As Variant
source = OPCDevice
theItem.Read source, myValue

Bulk Email Extractor. Need to add a Regxp - excel VBA

I am trying to update my first code with parts of a second code, but have been struggling for a few weeks now. Both codes extract emails from a url list.
THE FIRST CODE
This code is fine apart from it uses Mailto: rather than a Regxp. I am trying to replace the Mailto: in the first code with a Regxp from the second code as the regxp extracts more emails.
How the First code works.
A list of urls are placed in Sheet2 "Urls" and the results are show in Sheet1 "Results". This code will extract ALL emails from the site, so if there are 10 emails it will extract ALL 10, if 100 then it will extract All 100 EMAIL. The SECOND code only extracts 1 email per site.
The problem with the FIRST CODE is that the Mailto: does MISS a lot of email where as the REGXP captures more, and so I want to update the first code. However I have been struggling for a few weeks now as I am not super hot in writing code. The first code was originaly written by me and then updated by another developer and his code is wayout of my skill depth. I have been trying for weeks to update it but can not seem to work anything out so I decided to post.
I have listed the first code below. You can download a sample workbook from here Download Link First code
Link to my second code that I also wrote, and the EMAIL REGXP i am trying to use, My Post StackOver Flow

As always thanks in advance.
I recommend you save a copy of your workbook before running the code in my answer. Hopefully it works and does what you need it to, I wasn't able to test it fully.
The GetEmailAddressesFromHtml function in the code below extracts email addresses using the regular expression you've included in your answer.
I think one thing the code below doesn't do (which your code did) was add comments to the Urls worksheet. But you could set up an Excel formula (e.g. COUNTIFS) to do that in my opinion.
I only add unique Facebook URLs and email addresses, so you shouldn't see any duplicates on the Results sheet.

VBA Bloomberg API

I want to run a macro that brings me the following value INTERVAL_PERCENT_CHANGE from:
The ticher of the fund concerned S3.Range(Cells(3, 76), Cells(3, 77)).
Start and end dates S3.Cells(i, 73).Value and S3.Cells(i, 74).Value
Currency S3.Cells(2, 76).Value
from the Bloomberg APIs. But I get a soft error message
"invalid procedure call or argument".
I really tried everything but there is something that escapes me.

How to fix function that is returning unexpected results in Excel VBA?

I have a range Room_ResultsGUI and want to create simple function that will return value. But my function return nothing...not error just blank value, not sure why.
TasGUID is string with bracket here is example {6086FA55-54E5-4474-8599-2BB696170C73}
I am checking row and column reference, from first row and column and then just returning cells with row and column.
Not sure how to solve it, and why it does not work?
Function S(TasGUID As Variant) As Variant
On Error GoTo blad:
Dim bladTekst As String
Dim category As String
Dim zakres As Range
category = "Total Room Air Flow Rate [l/s]"
zakres = Range("Room_ResultsGUI")
Dim kolumna As Long, wiersz As Long
bladTekst = "No Data"
kolumna = WorksheetFunction.Match(category, zakres.Rows(1), 0)
wiersz = WorksheetFunction.Match(TasGUID, zakres.Columns(1), 0)
S = zakres.Cells(wiersz, kolumna)
Exit Function
blad:
S = bladTekst
End Function
My current code:
Function S(TasGUID As Variant) As Variant
Dim category As String
Dim zakres As Range
Dim kolumna As Long, wiersz As Long
category = "Total Room Air Flow Rate [l/s]"
kolumna = WorksheetFunction.Match(category, Range("Room_ResultsGUI").Rows(1), 0)
wiersz = WorksheetFunction.Match(TasGUID, Range("Room_ResultsGUI").Columns(1), 0)
S = zakres.Cells(wiersz, kolumna)
End Function
You need to Set a Range object.
SET zakres = Range("Room_ResultsGUI")
I'm not so sure why it is important to set it anyway. Using it like,
Function S(TasGUID As Variant) As Variant
On Error GoTo blad:
Dim category As String
Dim kolumna As Long, wiersz As Long
category = "Total Room Air Flow Rate [l/s]"
S = "No Data"
kolumna = WorksheetFunction.Match(category, Range("Room_ResultsGUI").Rows(1), 0)
wiersz = WorksheetFunction.Match(TasGUID, Range("Room_ResultsGUI").Columns(1), 0)
S = Range("Room_ResultsGUI").Cells(wiersz, kolumna)
Exit Function
blad:
S = Err.Number & " - " & Err.Description
End Function
... would be sufficient. I've also removed your generic "No data" in favour of an actual error number and description.
