Call a RESTlet and Display Results

This sample is part of a multi-script sample. To see the entire code sample, please see Retrieve Employee Information Using a Suitelet and a RESTlet Script with a Defined Content-Type Header.

The following sample is a Suitelet script calling a RESTlet script through https.requestRestlet(). The RESTlet returns an application/json value with the employee name. For more information about https.requestRestlet(), see https.requestRestlet(options).

Note:

This script sample uses the define function, which is required for an entry point script (a script you attach to a script record and deploy). You must use the require function if you want to copy the script into the SuiteScript Debugger and test it. For more information, see SuiteScript 2.x Global Objects.

Important:

This sample uses SuiteScript 2.1. For more information, see SuiteScript 2.1.
