HTTPAPIDataAction Class

HTTPAPIDataAction is a subclass or the AbstractHTTPDataAction base class. You can extend this concrete class to provide the functionality you require.

HTTPAPIDataAction

Use the HTTPAPIDataAction class to invoke HTTP APIs by creating an asyncronous XMLHTTPRequest (XHR) and submitting it to the specified URL. The HTTP response code enables a message to be displayed briefly on the canvas. For example, you can customize the request to send JSON or XML payloads to a REST or SOAP server and you can customize the response handler to show a custom user interface.

For the HTTPAPIDataAction data action to work, you must add the URL of the HTTP API you want to access to your list of Safe Domains and grant it Connect access. See Register Safe Domains.
