HTTP Object

The HTTP object is used to make HTTP requests to variosu web api's (REST etc).

Examples:

Consuming a weather api

jint di

var req = HTTP();

req.Url="https://api.open-meteo.com/v1/forecast?latitude=52.52&longitude=13.405&hourly=temperature_2m";

req.Method="GET";

var response = req.Send();

var json = response.JSON;

di.display(response.body);

di.display(json.latitude);

var table=CreateTable();

table.Columns.Add("latitude");

table.Columns.Add("longitude");

table.Rows.Add(json.latitude, json.longitude);

//append to the island

di.push("weather", table, "a");

Example of automating updating the currency data in Sage CRM from an api

di.addserver("CRM");//our crm server

var req = HTTP();

req.Url="https://v6.exchangerate-api.com/v6/YOUR_KEY_HERE/latest/EUR";

req.Method="GET";

var response = req.Send();

var json = response.JSON;

di.display(response.body);

//di.display(json.result);//show the full result

di.display(json.conversion_rates.USD);

di.display(json.conversion_rates.CAD);

di.display(json.conversion_rates.GBP);

di.display(json.conversion_rates.AUD);

di.display(json.conversion_rates.ZAR);

//update Sage CRM

if (json.result=="success")

{

var uSQL="update Currency set Curr_Rate='"+json.conversion_rates.USD+"' where Curr_Symbol='$'";

di.nativesql(uSQL);

uSQL="update Currency set Curr_Rate='"+json.conversion_rates.CAD+"' where Curr_Symbol='$CAN'";

di.nativesql(uSQL);

uSQL="update Currency set Curr_Rate='"+json.conversion_rates.GBP+"' where Curr_Symbol='£'";

di.nativesql(uSQL);

uSQL="update Currency set Curr_Rate='"+json.conversion_rates.AUD+"' where Curr_Symbol='$AUD'";

di.nativesql(uSQL);

uSQL="update Currency set Curr_Rate='"+json.conversion_rates.ZAR+"' where Curr_Symbol='ZAR'";

di.nativesql(uSQL);

}
