RE: Call External Api from Javascript

Hi ,

Please find the sample code for the POST Request,

Note: Only HTTPS requests are allowed from D365.

var data = JSON.stringify({

"name": "morpheus",

"job": "leader"

});

var url = "https://reqres.in/api/users";

var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();

xhr.withCredentials = true;

xhr.addEventListener("readystatechange", function () {

if (this.readyState === 4) {

console.log(this.responseText);

}

});

xhr.open("POST", url);

xhr.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", "application/json");

xhr.send(data);

You can also learn how to make HTTPS call using JS or Ajax request.

Hi Dinesh,

It depend on what kind of the request method the API uses, and whether you need a authentication to call it.

Here is a simple demo to call NASA(https://api.nasa.gov/#getting-started) public API, it can be easily done with jQuery ajax method.

(This API is to get an article information, and I only get its title field from callback result)

1. Add jQuery and your own js libraries in CRM form.

2. Add your ajax call function in js by yourself.

3. In my demo, I call the function when form load

result:

There are some previous discusses about your question, you could take them as reference:

You could use the fetch api (not supported by IE without a polyfil though) developer.mozilla.org/.../Fetch_API

Or JQuery... api.jquery.com/.../ajax

Or one of the many other libraries out there.

What is the external webapi? Does it not provide documentation?
