consuming external API

Hi David,

I think the functions in 05.01.03.03 ContentLoaderFunctions, specifically GetText will be perfect for this (but also check the other functions there).
Available of course in the snippets 🙂

BR,
Vladimir

can you provide me with an example? I'm trying to use an API that requires the request

curl https://api.domain.com/v2/shipments \
 -u {YOUR API KEY}:

I've used GetXML for other APIs but can't see how I would be able to consume this one.

I've tried this:
var url = https://api.domain.com/v2/shipments
var params = {

    url: url /* STRING /,<br>    username: apiKey / STRING */,
};
var result = Resources["ContentLoaderFunctions"].PostText(params);

but get "unauthorized 401" as a response.

Pai - I don't see what you mean.  there are no spaces in the url.  I opened a ticket with support and they said that the code below worked, but I still receive an unauthenticated error

result = Resources["ContentLoaderFunctions"].PostJSON({
url: "https://api.easypost.com/v2/shipments",
password: "",
username: "d7WlVQmMEFlzQ5a9GvbfXA",
timeout: 30
});
