Request HTTP API resources

Method 1: RestAPI block

Using RestAPI block in Cally Square

Fill the RestAPI block as described below:

assuming the response of the request is

{ "userId": 1, "id": 1, "title": "delectus aut autem"}

the application will set following variables:

RESULT_STATUS_CODE "200"

RESULT_STATUS_MESSAGE "OK"

RESULT.userId "1"

RESULT.id "1"

RESULT.title "delectus aut autem"

Method 2: External Script

Create script

Below you can see an example of script written in Perl language, but you can use your favourite language.

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use strict;
use warnings;
use JSON qw( decode_json );


my $url = "https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/todos/1";


my $curl=`curl -k '$url'`;
# { "userId": 1, "id": 1, "title": "delectus aut autem", "completed": false }

my $decoded = decode_json($curl);


my $title = $decoded->{'title'};
print "SET VARIABLE RESULT_TITLE \"$title\"\n";

my $userId = $decoded->{'userId'};
print "SET VARIABLE RESULT_USERID \"$userId\"\n";

The script can be used as reference for your needs and remember to set properly the result of the cURL command:

print "SET VARIABLE <CHANNEL_VARIABLE> \"<VARIABLE>\"\n";

Use script in Cally Square project

The script must be used as Command in AGI block:

And the variable set in the example.agi script will be available in Cally Square project.
