I am trying to use a REST (Representational state transfer) API with a workflow tool called Target Process. I'm not sure where to start. Anybody any clues or pointers about using REST with WinBatch scripts?
Thanks
David
I normally use MSXML. Here is a starting point for the retrieval. Several examples in the Tech Database for reading it after you get it.
Jim
; Create MSXML Object
MSXML = ObjectOpen("MSXML.DOMDocument")
; Set MSXML Options
MSXML.Async = 'False'
MSXML.preserveWhiteSpace = 'False'
MSXML.validateOnParse = 'True'
MSXML.resolveExternals = 'False'
XMLURL = "YOUR_API_URL"
; Issue the request and wait for it to be honored
Loaded = MSXML.Load(XMLURL)
If !Loaded Then
Display(2,"Warning","The service is not available.")
ObjectClose(MSXML)
Exit
EndIf
; Get root of document
XML_Root = MSXML.documentElement
xtxt = XML_Root.xml
Message("HI",xtxt)
;PARSE XML ******************************
ObjectClose(MSXML)

Like Jim said. I would troll the Tech Database. You can use MSXML like Jim posted, XMLHttp, or the never Powershell rest cmdlet.
Thanks guys. I'll start with that and see what I can come up with.
