I tried several ways to launch a script from another one  
I’m note sure that my way is the best one  
try {

```
  const url = \`http://127.0.0.1/api/app/com.athom.homeyscript/script/${encodeURIComponent(SCRIPT_ID)}/run\`;

  const response = await fetch(url, {

    method: 'POST',

    headers: {

      'Authorization': \`Bearer ${API_KEY}\`, 

      'Content-Type': 'application/json'

    },

    body: JSON.stringify({ args: \[payload\] })

  });

  if (response.status === 401) {

      console.error("Clé API refusée (401). Vérifier API_KEY .");

      return; 

  }

  const data = await response.json();

  console.log(\`Réponse : OK\`);

} catch (e) {

  console.error(\`Erreur : ${e.message}\`);

}

```

Just to be sure : do you want feedback on this script to optimize it or is this script not working and you want help to get it working ?

I’m a bit confused about what you want to know 🙂

That API key expires quickly AFAIK. You’d need the full token refresh logic as well if this is a permanent solution.
