Posted on by Dyavari Sandeep Yadav 68

Hello all, 

I want to call an external API using C/AL code.

When calling from a browser the external API is returning a JSON response.

How I can call the external API using C/AL code and process the JSON response for inserting each entity as a new record in a new NAV table.

Please provide some pointers to achieve this scenario.

Thanks in Advance!
