    irules is not good at parsing JSON key value in HTTP Payload, Initiating HTTPS connections on irules' sideband is also cumbersome

    I suggest you use irules and cooperate with iRulesLX to initiate a sideband https connection using node.js,Node.js can use its built-in JSON library to handle JSON, which is very advantageous

 I do not know how big the reponse JSON  will be yet, per example it does not look like a lot of lines.  I will take a look at the sideband request as I have not used that but the all the responses are pointing to sideband solution. I will look through the link you provided to get a better understandng of it and see if it can solve the problem.
