Using HttpClient in Salesforce Commerce Cloud
I needed a quick way to get a model for a view. For our API calls, I created services, profiles and credentials that are managed by SFCC. But that's overkill for a one off call. HttpClient is a way to make external calls, in SFCC/SFRA there's a little twist. Code to use the TypeScript HTTPClient in cartridge code:
function callExternalUrl(parameters) { var HTTPClient = require('dw/net/HTTPClient'); var Logger = require('dw/system/Logger'); if (!empty(parameters)) { var url = parameters.url; var userId = parameters.userId; var password = parameters.password; var httpClient = new HTTPClient(); httpClient.setTimeout(2000); httpClient.open("GET", url, userId, password); httpClient.send(); if (httpClient.statusCode == 200) { //confirm response Logger.getLogger("shop").info( httpClient.text ); // do something with response object // var sourceObject = JSON.parse(httpClient.text); } } else { // error handling Logger.getLogger("shop").error( "An error occured with status code " + httpClient.statusCode ); } } // ... // var parameters = { // url: "", // userId: "", // password: "" // } // callExternalUrl(parameters)
