Hello,

I am using CRM Online and am having trouble making a request to an external api. Here is my code

function sendRequest() {

var xmlHttp = new XMLHttpRequest();

var url = "myapi.com/api";

var data = {"title":"Testing Here",""themeId":"123456789876532"};

xmlHttp.onreadystatechange = function() {

if (xmlHttp.readyState == 4 && xmlHttp.status == 200)

callback(xmlHttp.responseText);

}

xmlhttp.setRequestHeader("access_token", "myaccesstoken");

xmlHttp.open("POST", url, true); // true for asynchronous

xmlHttp.send(JSON.stringify(data));

}

Solution:

function sendRequest() {

var data = JSON.stringify(

{

"title":"Testing Here",

"themeId":"mythemeid});

var url = "">https://my.api";

var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();

xhr.withCredentials = false;

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

if (this.readyState === 4) {

var response = this.responseText;

console.log(response);

// can update fields here with response text

}

});

xhr.open("POST", url);

xhr.setRequestHeader("access_token", "my-api-key");

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

xhr.send(data);

}

Hi,

To isolate if this is causing becuse of CRM or there is a problem within your script, try to execute your script somewhere else. You can try it on JSfiddle - https://jsfiddle.net/

Hope this helps.
