I am trying to figure out how to send back a value to the Ajax popup box. Currently, the value that gets returned is just the JSON that comes back from the API call. I would much rather use jsondecode to pull out a specific value and have that return, or... lets not even get that complex. I just want to set a variable equal to some message such as "API GET complete" and return that to the Ajax box. This will also help with troubleshooting so I can return a variable to see if things are working. As I said, currently the Ajax popup just displays the JSON that comes back from the API call. This is my first time working with both Ajax and curl_setopt so if you can please make recommendations with examples, that would be fantastic! Thank you!

$.post(ajaxurl, data, function (response) {
alert(response);
});

Test();
break;
case 'to_the_n':
to_the_n();
break;
}
}
function Test() {
$ch = curl_init('https://api.digitalocean.com/v2/droplets?tag_name=MYTAG');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, "GET");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('Authorization: Bearer MYTOKEN','Content-Type: application/json'));
$result = curl_exec($ch);
$message = "Yay it worked" //Send this message back to Ajax popup, not the API reply
exit;
}
?>
