How does httprequest work in a client command?

Hi @durette,
Were you able to run the  httprequest in a client command? 

I was not able to run your “Hello World” example using https://postman-echo.com/get. I encountered the same problem when trying to use the example address below:

httprequest "https://api.open-meteo.com/v1/forecast?latitude=52.2298&longitude=21.0118&current_weather=true"

In debug console (DevTools) I see CORS error.

 

What worked for me were only the very simple examples below:

command TestCommand1 for Xyz {
   execute {
      httprequest "https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts/1" into ResponseText {
         redirect = true;
         method = GET;
         header "Accept", "application/json";
      }
      info("${ResponseText}");
   }
}

command TestCommand2 for Xyz {
   execute {
      httprequest "https://httpbin.org/post" into ResponseText {
         redirect = true;
         method = POST;
         header "Content-Type", "application/xml";
         body "<note><to>Tove</to><from>Jani</from><heading>Reminder</heading><body>Don't forget me this weekend!</body></note>";
      }
      info("${ResponseText}");
   }
}

Hi ​@Tomasz Grzebula  I tried calling this API with my current latitude and longitude as shown below,
 

but I encountered an error.
 

Could you help me understand how to get a response from this API?

​@Lekshmikanth,
According to my experience, apart from very simple examples, httprequest in a client command generally doesn’t work. Additionally it seems to be undocumented feature.

Okay Thankyou ​@Tomasz Grzebula 

​@Tomasz Grzebula awesome...

Do you employees have any better/more complete documentation than what is available to Customers?

​@PhillBronson, I don't have access to any additional documentation. I just found httprequest in this community and in IFS Developer Studio, and have done some experiments. I guess that httprequest is not documented because it simply doesn't work.

​@Tomasz Grzebula thanks!
