#59430 What i am trying to accomplish

I want to fetch data from the web and send to ESP8266. The data is current news (about 5000 text characters) through some api. I expect the esp8266 module to be connected to the LCD screen to display the text (news).
I know i can use esp8266 server/client library for this.

Questions
But my question is how much data can i send to ESP8266 (what is the limit)?
And how much data can i store locally on the chip?

Thank you in advance

#59908 correct. you can simply use WebClient sample.
it should be able to receive all reply from the host site. not 100% sure though. haven't tried.
