Calling External API with Javascript

Question

I need to make a POST request to an external server from my webpage using Javascript. The body and response are both json. I can\'t figure out how to make this call or what tool

Answer 1

You can use JQUERY and AjAX. You can send/get information information to/from your API either by post or get method.

It would be something like that:

$("#ButtonForm").click(function(){
$.ajax({
        url:(Your url),
        dataType:'json',
        type: 'post',
        data: yourForm.serialize(),
        success:function(response){
              ** If yout API returns something, you're going to proccess the data here.
        }
    });
});
