Title: How to use Fetch() for JSON REST API calls?
Post by: ea0522 on May 30, 2024, 09:13:15 pm

Hai, I'm trying to import data in Enterprise Architect using a REST API call.
The REST API returns a nicely formatted JSON string.
In another javascript, I've managed to parse a valid JSON string.
However, when I try to use Fetch() to get the information from an URL, I get an error: "fetch is not defined".
Anyone has an example javascript I can adapt to test the fetch function?
Thanks.

You can simulate the fetch command with the following JavaScript example:

Code: [Select]

const http2 = new COMObject("MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP");
http2.setTimeouts(15000, 15000, 15000, 900000);
http2.setProxy(2,"http://localhost:9000","");
http2.open("POST", url, false); // Use "true" for async
http2.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", "application/json");
http2.setRequestHeader("Authorization", "Bearer " + OPENAI_API_KEY);
http2.send(JSON.stringify(body));

if (http2.status == 200) {
Session.Output(http2.responseText);
} else {
 Session.Output("Error: " + http2.status + " - " + http2.statusText);
}
